Seven Hydrogen Hubs Selected to Receive $7 Billion in DOE Funding

October 19, 2023--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- Seven hydrogen hub projects were selected October 13 by the Department of Energy (DOE) (Washington, D.C.) to receive a total of $7 billion in federal funding to advance hydrogen's role in a decarbonizing economy. The $7 billion requires matching funds from the recipients, who were selected in a competition that began with 80 projects but was winnowed down to 20 projects. The $7 billion in funding will not be distributed equally to the seven projects, the DOE said in a statement October 13 announcing the winners, adding it was not a guarantee that funding would be awarded.
