The designation for the Pacific NW Hydrogen Hub, a collective of private sector, government, academic, research, and philanthropic communities across Washington, Oregon, and Montana, aims to accelerate clean hydrogen technology, production, and deployment.\n\nThis program, funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law, includes up to $7 billion spread across up to 10 regional clean hydrogen hubs across America selected by the U.S. Department of Energy. They are designed to help communities across the country benefit from clean energy investments, create good-paying jobs, and improve America\u2019s energy security.\n\nClean hydrogen is a key player in our efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, the clean hydrogen economy will generate approximately $140 billion in revenue and create 700,000 jobs. The Pacific Northwest is poised to lead this industry.\n\n\u201cWashington has long been a trailblazer in clean energy technology, and today\u2019s announcement will help solidify our position as a hydrogen powerhouse,\u201d said DelBene. \u201cThis achievement will not only drive economic growth across the region but also contribute to reducing our carbon footprint. The congressional delegation\u2019s strong support for this designation signifies the broad appeal of these types of investments and jobs across our region.\u201d\n\nIn March 2023, DelBene and members of the Washington and Oregon congressional delegations sent a letter of support for Pacific NW Hydrogen Hub\u2019s application to DOE\u2019s Hydrogen Hub.
