The US Department of Energy has unveiled details of an $8bn programme to create regional hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs) around the country with one that will power production with nuclear energy.
The DOE announced a notice of intent to fund the programme, proposed in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and to find sites for the hubs.
Of the H2Hubs, one will aim to make green hydrogen using renewable energy, another is supposed to power green hydrogen production with nuclear energy
and another will be able to show it can make hydrogen from fossil fuels by pairing it with technologies that capture and sequester carbon dioxide emissions.
