OLYMPIA, WA – The Pacific Northwest will continue to lead the way in building a clean energy future as a network of clean hydrogen suppliers and end-users to decarbonize some of the hardest-to-abate sectors of the region’s economy is one step closer to reality. 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)  today selected   the  Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association’s   PNWH2 Hub for award negotiations as one of the  Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs   following a competitive nationwide process. DOE’s H2Hubs will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen.
