HyVelocity selected by U.S. Department of Energy to develop Gulf Coast hydrogen hub
In Texas, the HyVelocity Hub team announced it has been selected by the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to begin award negotiations for the development of the HyVelocity Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub, which is estimated to receive up to $1.2 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding.
HyVelocity is an industry-led hydrogen hub that includes seven core industry partners – AES Corporation, Air Liquide, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Mitsubishi Power Americas, Ørsted, and Sempra Infrastructure. HyVelocity is administered by GTI Energy and includes a wide array of organizations, including organizing participants, the University of Texas at Austin, The Center for Houston’s Future, and Houston Advanced Research Center.
HyVelocity also has over 90 supporting partners from industry, community engagement and labor organizations, non-profits, academic, and state and local governments.
With more than 1,000 miles of dedicated hydrogen pipelines, 48 hydrogen production plants and dozens of hydrogen end-use applications, the Gulf Coast is already the heart of hydrogen infrastructure and use in the United States, HyVelocity said.
The DOE’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen.
