Decarbonization Network News Today

Joe Biden traveled to Pennsylvania (campaign rally) on Friday to make the official announcement of the seven lucky winners of the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games (see today's lead story). Joe pitched Pennsylvania as the big winner, which is a joke. PA scored small pieces of two approved projects. The one big, main hydrogen hub project

Explosive news from the Pittsburgh Business Times about the ill-fated plan by Pennsylvania to try and attract one of 6-10 regional hydrogen hubs to the state. As we told you yesterday, according to Reuters, PA's application to score a government grant for a hydrogen hub, called the Decarbonization Network of Appalachia (DNA H2Hub), was passed

Pittsburgh region’s own proposal to develop the use of “blue hydrogen” was passed over, though the WV-based ARCH 2 will create some jobs in western PA.

President Joe Biden on Friday announced $7 billion in investment in hydrogen-producing projects across the nation, including two projects that will have Pennsylvania participation. Seven so-called “Hydrogen Hubs” that are centered in seven states were announced as part of the Biden administration’s effort to boost development and production of hydrogen

Pa., N.J., and Del. secure federal funding for a “hydrogen hub” as part of the Biden administration’s plan to tackle climate change. But local climate activists say it’s a false solution.

A project in southeastern Pa. will use renewable and nuclear energy to produce hydrogen. The other hub in western Pa., Ohio, WV will use natural gas.

Critics say a pair of proposals to make Appalachian Ohio part of regional hydrogen hubs is likely to benefit the state’s oil and gas industry more than the climate.

Promoters promise clean energy from hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage, but skeptics question reliance on technology that hasn’t been proven at scale. Critics question how climate-friendly an Appalachian ‘blue’ hydrogen hub...

Environmental interests call for separating hydrogen using sustainable energy sources, but a bill that would tilt subsidies toward that result has been slowed by the Shapiro administration.
