Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association

Chris Green, #PNWH2 Board Chair, presenting today at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2024 Hydrogen Program Annual Merit Review. DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations Hydrogen Hub Programs team, lead by our Hub’s Project Manager Katie O'Shea continues to assist in moving our hub forward through award negotiations. Today, we are able to share where we are, where we are going, and how our Hub and projects will benefit the people, communities and the future generations within the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, how we will be meeting the Justice 40 initiatives, Tribal & Community Engagement and Workforce Development Strategies through our partnerships with local Labor groups throughout the PNW. We are working to decarbonize hard to abate sectors using clean hydrogen to equitably improve the lives of the people in our community & the environments they live in for the long term!

Our Board Chair, Chris Green will be in Washington D.C., next week to present on the current work and anticipated outcomes of the PNWH2 and our member’s projects, at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2024 Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting (AMR). The AMR gives us the opportunity to present the current and future state of our hydrogen and fuel cell projects for review by DOE. We look forward to sharing how #hydrogen will be a key component for the PNW’s energy revolution. Find out more about the event here: https://lnkd.in/gFM_urK

We support efforts to defeat I-2117, in Washington State. The Climate Commitment Act has been key in helping to solidify the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2), and our award from the US Dept. of Energy to move forward with building the hydrogen and clean energy revolution! Help us continue to invest in our communities, living wage jobs and a cleaner, greener future for ALL! Vote NO on I-2117, this November. #CCA #UNITEDTODEFEAT #WA #Hydrogen #cleanenergy #H2

Curious about the transformative potential of hydrogen power in our region? Dive into this insightful article from the Inlander with insights from the key voices driving the conversation:   "Some of the folks that have been aligned with the hydrogen hub are already out there doing projects in the region, and in some cases might be producing hydrogen through electrolysis later this year," said Aaron Feaver, executive director of the Washington State University-led organization JCDREAM. "We're going to need every tool we have in the toolkit in order to reach zero carbon emissions by the 2050 timeframe."   Discover more perspectives and learn how the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub is shaping the future of clean energy and green jobs in our region.

Efforts are continuing in the reduction of costs for clean hydrogen, advancing electrolysis technology and improving the capabilities for manufacturing and recycling systems! Check out the 52 new projects announced this week from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association knows this investment will help us with our objectives to strengthening hydrogen infrastructure, create living wage jobs, reducing carbon emissions and improve the air quality for our citizens & communities in the PNW and nationwide! Congratulations 👏🏻 to the new projects! We look forward to collaborating with you.
