The Biden administration will award $62 million to accelerate development of the nation’s nascent hydrogen industry, seen as key for decarbonizing steel, cement and heavy transportation.
The funding announced Friday will back 20 projects across 15 states for developing and deploying technologies to use hydrogen in heavy-duty vehicles and port equipment, as well as cutting the permitting process for hydrogen infrastructure. The biggest portion — $40 million — will go to creating a standardized hydrogen fueling station for trucks.
