On July 5, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Development (OCED) announced a Request for Information to inform the DOE’s efforts to design a demand-side support mechanism for its Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program (H2Hubs). Information obtained through this process will support a future Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) entitled “Implementing Entity (or Entities) for Demand-side Support Mechanism for Clean Hydrogen Hub Projects” that the DOE expects to issue later this summer/early fall. The DOE ultimately intends to commit up to $1 billion to fund entities implementing a demand-side support mechanism to “facilitate bankable clean hydrogen demand” for the H2Hubs to “enable private sector financing and expedite progress to Final Investment Decision for H2Hubs.” This follows the $6-7 billion commitment the DOE initially announced in 2022 for the H2Hubs.
