Comments to DOE’s Office of Clean Energy’s DE-NOI-0202301 (Clean Hydrogen Hubs)

CRS’s comments pertain to DOE’s potential demand-side support mechanisms for clean hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs). Key recommendations include ensuring support for both compliance and voluntary market demand and designing an eligibility-based selection process that considers the amount of renewable resources used to produce hydrogen the carbon intensity of particular products as well as social impact and environmental justice concerns.
