North and South America draw up maps for hydrogen future
US and Canada are planning major hydrogen investments, while Central and South American countries face challenges in realising their significant potential
The US Department of Energy’s National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, released in June 2023, provides various pathways for US producers to incrementally increase clean hydrogen production to 10mt/yr by 2030, 20mt/yr by 2040 and up to 50mt/yr by 2050. This report built on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) passed in November 2021, which allocated more than $60b for the US DOE, including $9.5b to boost domestic green hydrogen production. The roadmap—part of the US’ goal to achieve of 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and net-zero GHG emissions by 2050—details three key strategies to effectively maximise the US’ cl
