The DOE is targeting hydrogen
US DOE lays out price targets in fresh hydrogen push
The department targets $2/kg for production and $2/kg for delivery and distribution for transport applications
The US Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Hydrogen Earthshot Initiative this month, following it up with several presentations at the Hydrogen Americas Summit, hosted by the London-based Sustainable Energy Council. Infrastructure is already developing quickly. Total electrolyser capacity consists of 25 separate installations with at least 120kW capacity each. The DOE also has a number of demonstration projects underway through its H2@Scale programme, including at a steelmaking facility in Missouri and a datacentre fitted with a fuel-cell battery in Washington, DC. “No single technology is the answer, and we need to address all the sectors” Satyapal, DOE But there is a need to pa
