US National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap
Clean hydrogen, as shown in the Biden-Harris Administration’s Long-Term Strategy of the United States, is an important element of the Nation’s path to decarbonization. Though much remains uncertain, the potential for hydrogen is clear. Focused investment and action in the near, mid, and longterm will lay the foundation for broader clean hydrogen adoption, drive down cost, and increase scale in a sustainable and holistic manner. Clean hydrogen across the entire RDD&D spectrum, catalyzed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, will both enable decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and create and preserve good-paying jobs, provide environmental and energy justice benefits, and create energy independence and export opportunities for the United States. Government actions can support and catalyze investment across the value chain for clean hydrogen.
Sectoral training
Federal agencies, through a whole of government approach, are committed to working with partners in industry, academia, national laboratories, local and Tribal communities, and more to advance this transition and will leverage a broad array of tools including policies, financial assistance, loans, apprenticeship programs, and stakeholder engagement, to accelerate progress. Further details and appendices will continue to be developed to ensure the most up to date information is available203 and DOE will update this document at least every three years, as required. Through effective collaboration and with the right strategies and implementation plans, the United States can and must succeed in the development of a sustainable, resilient, and equitable clean hydrogen economy.
