Accelerating Commercial Demand for Clean Hydrogen
The Hydrogen Demand Initiative (H2DI) — led by the EFI Foundation (EFIF) — brings together multiple stakeholders to explore market and policy innovations
Consortium
Empowering Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs
EFI Foundation
The EFI Foundation leads H2DI and manages activities; performs financial and commercial analysis; and develops community engagement strategies.
S&P Global
S&P Global Commodity Insights—the leading independent provider of information, data, analysis, benchmark prices and workflow solutions for the commodities, energy, metals and energy transition markets—contributes market assessments; evaluates financial workflows; engages stakeholder community for input; provides and manages data.
Intercontinental Exchange
Will design and implement demand-side support mechanisms for market potential.
MIT Energy Initiative
Performs techno-economic analysis of hydrogen demand-side; performs greenhouse gas lifecycle accounting, as well as granular sector “coupling” modeling (gas, electric, CO2, end-uses) using the modeling platform SESAME (Sustainable Energy Systems Modeling Environment).
Dentons
Advises on the National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and other regulatory and due process issues; develops contracts; supports monitoring, reporting, and verification; and creates operational requirements.
RMI
RMI is a global non-profit focused on the clean energy transition, with extensive experience building buyers coalitions, platforms, market frameworks, and governance systems to speed the development and procurement of clean commodities like sustainable aviation fuel and low-emissions steel.
LevelTen Energy
LevelTen operates the largest clean energy trading platform in the world where an average of 1.3 clean energy RFPs per week were issued last year, and which has served as a crucial lever to scaling the wind, solar and energy storage markets.
United States Energy Association
The U.S. Energy Association (USEA) is a nonprofit, apolitical, nonlobbying organization founded in 1924 to convene energy stakeholders to share policy, scientific, and technological information to foster the advancement of the entire energy sector. USEA promotes energy development by expanding access to safe, affordable, sustainable, and environmentally acceptable energy.
Trusted Expertise
H2DI is designed to be a high-impact hydrogen demand-side effort to leverage private investment effectively and efficiently to support the commercial deployment of clean hydrogen by seven regional hubs and surrounding areas.
“We see the regional hubs as the engines for clean hydrogen market formation in the United States. EFIF and its terrific team of partners will target these federal resources to support clean hydrogen offtake and lasting cost curve reductions.”
Alex Kizer, Executive Director of H2DI
Market Mission
The H2DI consortium is charged with designing and implementing demand-side support mechanisms for enhancing the market potential of the administration’s $7B investment in Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs).
