US hydrogen hub projects stall as political backing weakens
Several major US hydrogen hub projects have stalled, and political support for them has weakened, according to OilPrice.com. The Biden administration announced up to $2.2 billion in award commitments for two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs in November 2024. Total federal funding for seven H2Hubs stands at $7 billion. Among the affected projects, MACH2 in Philadelphia was expected to support more than 20,000 jobs in the Delaware Valley region and was set to receive a $750 million Department of Energy award. ARCH2 in West Virginia was expected to receive $925 million to produce blue hydrogen using carbon capture and storage.
