Helping Provide Demand Certainty For Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs
57%
The refining sector accounts for about 57 percent of U.S. hydrogen demand.
20%
Ammonia production accounts for roughly 20 percent of U.S. hydrogen demand.
10%
Methanol production accounts for around 10 percent of U.S. hydrogen demand.
6%
Metals and other industries make up 6 percent of hydrogen demand.
Our Mission
H2DI is working with the U.S. Department of Energy and the H2Hubs to design robust demand-side support measures that will facilitate purchases of clean hydrogen — H2Hub-affiliated projects to reduce climate pollution, create good jobs, support clean air, and advance U.S. competitiveness in various end-use sectors, including energy-intensive industry and heavy-duty transportation.
Once finalized, the team will also develop an operational plan for administering these mechanisms. Developing a hydrogen demand-side initiative is critical to enhancing the early commercial viability of the H2Hubs, as demand formation for new energy sources often lags behind the creation of new reliable supply.
