These projects span across states leading in hydrogen development, including Louisiana, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, and more. They collectively enhance the US green hydrogen landscape by producing clean hydrogen for diverse uses such as fuel cells, transportation, and green ammonia synthesis.
The US green hydrogen sector is passing a critical inflection point. These projects highlight advancements in technology, robust partnerships, and alignment with climate goals. They exemplify how industry leadership can marry innovation and scale to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors.
"These projects represent a watershed moment for the US hydrogen economy. We are poised to deliver reliable, clean hydrogen at scale, driving decarbonization across key industries."
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power
Federal policies like the expanded 45Q tax credit are fueling momentum. Moreover, the final rules provide certainty, encouraging sustained investments.
John Podesta, Senior Advisor to President Biden for International Climate Policy, summarized the opportunity well:
"The extensive revisions we’ve made in this final rule provide the certainty that hydrogen producers need to keep their projects moving forward and make the United States a global leader in truly green hydrogen."
