The White House calls hydrogen essential to achieving Biden's 'vision of a strong, clean energy economy” and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 2050.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines greenhouse gases as those that trap heat in the atmosphere.The Biden administration has selected clean-energy projects from Pennsylvania to California for a $7 billion program to kickstart development and production ofBiden called clean hydrogen essential to his vision of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 2050.
Some environmentalists call hydrogen a false solution because it frequently relies on natural gas as a fuel source. Biden has made Philadelphia a regular stop for both official and campaign events, and partners in the proposed Philadelphia-area hub have labor unions that are key Biden supporters. The West Virginia-based hub includes major Pittsburgh-based natural gas companies that are active in the region’s prolific Marcellus Shale reservoir, including natural gas producer EQT Corp., which expects its gas to flow through the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline in West Virginia and Virginia.
The Mid-Atlantic hub, which includes New Jersey and Delaware, will receive $750 million and will make hydrogen through electrolysis — splitting water molecules using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, as well as nuclear power.The Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems in California will produce hydrogen from renewable energy and biomass.
The Minnesota-based Heartland hub, which includes projects in North and South Dakota, will receive $925 million as it seeks to decarbonize fertilizer used in agriculture and advance use of clean hydrogen in electric generation and for cold climate space heating. It also plans to offer equity ownership to tribal communities and local farmers.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., called the $1 billion hub "great news for the Pacific Northwest," adding that it will create thousands of jobs and "make sure that Washington plays a leading role in growing the green hydrogen economy.''
