Now is the time for the U.S. to take a leadership role at this critical juncture in the energy transition. Proactive involvement of the public sector and private industry as we head into this decade of clean power, clean water and clean industrial applications is crucial to accomplishing the many climate goals that companies and governments have set out to achieve – many by 2030.
The U.S. is rich in diverse resources across its regions, each of which has a unique position in the hydrogen value chain - ranging from hydrogen production, distribution to end use. We should heed Secretary Kerry’s words and embrace the “huge opportunities” that hydrogen presents to meet our climate goals, create additional good-paying domestic jobs and take advantage of our innovative culture to achieve cost competitiveness and scale in what will certainly be a key molecule in the transition to a more sustainable world.
