Evergreen hydrogen was just introduced in Washington as part of the state’s fast-increasing renewable hydrogen sector.
The Washington Green Hydrogen Alliance (WGHA), a statewide advocacy group, was also established.
The WGHA’s mission is to aid in the reduction of transportation-related water and air pollution. It will also aim to cut carbon emissions in the heavy industries sector in a cost-effective manner. Simultaneously, it aspires to develop clean energy employment across the state, as well as advance environmental justice and increase the state’s renewable H2 generation. At the same time, it aspires to make evergreen hydrogen a household word throughout the world.
The state of Washington hopes to offer clean fuel as a carbon-free energy source produced in the state. This H2 may be utilized in a variety of applications, including transportation and industry. Freshwater is used to making sustainable H2 in a process that is driven by renewable energy sources like wind and solar. In this situation, the state will use its rich wind and hydropower resources to power electrolysis, which breaks water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.
Vehicles and industries that run on evergreen hydrogen will emit no carbon dioxide
The new WGHA brings together a diverse range of Washington-based organizations. This comprises project developers, maritime, aerospace, car manufacturers, transit agencies, utilities, and clean energy advocates along the renewable H2 value chain. Universal Hydrogen, Tacoma Power, Toyota Motor North America, the Douglas County Public Utility District, and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation are all represented on the board of directors.
“Green hydrogen produced in Washington – (Ever)green hydrogen – is a massive, zero-carbon potential for our climate, air, water, and economy. In a press release on evergreen hydrogen, Tim Zenk, executive director of the WGHA, stated, “(Ever)green hydrogen will be our state’s next great industry, right alongside aircraft, apples, coffee, and software.” “This is our opportunity to grow a new business in Washington while also assisting individuals beyond our state’s borders in doing their bit to address climate change in a cost-effective manner.” I’m grateful to all of the members of the Washington Green Hydrogen Alliance for their dedication to the industry’s advancement as well as their support and vision in establishing our group. We’re excited to collaborate in Olympia to advocate responsible policies and help build Washington’s clean energy future.”
