As the world races towards a sustainable and greener energy future, a senior State Department official has sounded a clear warning: emerging U.S. businesses in the energy transition supply chain, including those in the realms of hydrogen and wind power, must act swiftly to prevent China from dominating these vital sectors. The message is clear – America’s leadership in the global energy transition is at stake.
The Oman Investment Authority (OIA) has announced an investment in Electric Hydrogen, a US-based company that develops and manufactures electrolysers using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology to produce green hydrogen.
As the world grapples with the urgent need to transition to sustainable energy sources, hydrogen has emerged as a shining star in the clean energy revolution.
In a landmark move towards combating climate change and building a sustainable energy future, Brazil and the United States have joined forces as “global energy powerhouses.”
A proposed hydrogen hub in the western United States has encountered strong opposition from a coalition consisting of indigenous, climate, and environmental justice advocates.
The Biden-Harris Administration has released the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, presenting a comprehensive plan to accelerate the production, processing, delivery, storage, and use of clean hydrogen as a versatile and low-carbon energy carrier.
Recent surveys have revealed that supply-side interest in low-carbon hydrogen fuels is increasing in the US following the bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Public and corporate sources of funding have focused on hydrogen, an energy source that emits no carbon emissions when used in fuel cells or burned, as global efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and address the effects of climate change intensify.
Senators Chris Coons (D-Delaware) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) renewed their bipartisan Hydrogen Infrastructure Initiative, four legislation to promote hydrogen power in energy-intensive sectors. Cosponsors include Senators Ben Ray Luján (D-New Mexico), Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), John Hickenlooper (D-Colorado), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Martin Heinrich.
US Department of Energy is planning to distribute $7 billion under last year’s bipartisan infrastructure program, which may support around 10 regional clean hydrogen centers.
