Happy #NationalHydrogenDay! We’re proud to be one of the inaugural U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) H2Hubs that will form a clean hydrogen network to help achieve our nation’s climate goals. This landmark initiative represents one of the largest investments in clean manufacturing and jobs in U.S. history, and we’re thrilled to be leading the way alongside the six other Hubs across America. Together, we will eliminate 25 million metric tons of CO2 emissions from end uses each year – roughly equivalent to over 5.5 million gasoline-powered cars. To learn more about the benefits of green hydrogen and our plans in the PNW, read our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gBzv_EY7 #H2Day #H2Hubs #Hydrogen
