Advances affordable transportation fuels and energy-efficient technologies in local communities.
Joint Office of Energy and Transportation
Aligns resources and expertise that support implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed into law in November 2021 and described as “the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in our Nation’s history.”
National Association of State Energy Officials
Facilitates learning among state energy officials, serves as a resource for and about State Energy Offices, and informs Congress and federal agencies about State Energy Offices' interests. Resources related to hydrogen fuel cell technology include:
California Air Resources Board
Develops programs and initiatives in response to climate change, including hydrogen fuel cell activities.
National Center for Sustainable Transportation
Supports environmentally sustainable transportation through research, policy engagement and education.
Transportation Consortium of South-Central States
Addresses regional transportation challenges in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Center for Alternative Fuels Engines and Emissions
Works extensively on emissions reduction research, including fuel technologies.
Informs industry decision-makers and policymakers about legislation and regulations affecting the fuels and vehicles markets.
National Fuel Cell Research Center
Facilitates the development and use of fuel cell technology and systems, builds alliances to address the challenges associated with the installation and integration of fuel cell systems, and educates stakeholders in the fuel cell community.
Uses innovative science and technology to benefit the government, industry and the public.
National
Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association
Supports the environmental and economic benefits of fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies to regulators and policymakers.
Advocates for using hydrogen as a solution in the clean energy transition.
Promotes the commercial introduction and widespread adoption of hydrogen-fueled fuel cell electric vehicles across America, primarily by establishing hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
State
California Fuel Cell Partnership
Supports the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.
Federal agencies and state governments are collaborating to develop a domestic hydrogen economy. Funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be used to develop regional clean hydrogen hub programs through the U.S. Department of Energy. The following regional partnerships have been created or are currently underway:
► Atlas of Carbon and Hydrogen Hubs
Fourteen potential locations are featured for co-locating carbon capture and hydrogen production in the United States.
Hydrogen suppliers and users can use this tool to identify opportunities to develop regional hydrogen hubs.
