Amazon, Exxon Hydrogen Hubs Get Slice of $7 Billion US Funds

Hydrogen projects involving Amazon.com Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Air Products and Chemicals Inc. are among those receiving portions of $7 billion in US funding meant to make the country a leader in the controversial fuel.

President Joe Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm officially announced the seven projects — stretching from Pennsylvania to California — that have been selected as recipients of the government backing during an event at the Port of Philadelphia. The administration said the port would use hydrogen from a hub proposed for portions of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey to fuel trucks and other heavy-duty equipment.
