SRSH2 Part of PNWH2 Hub

In 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy selected the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen (PNWH2) Hub as one of seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs across the country. The Department of Energy'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. Funded by President Biden's Investing in America agenda, the H2Hubs will accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of clean hydrogen—helping generate clean, dispatchable power, create a new form of energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry and transportation. Together, they will also reduce 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide) emissions from end-uses each year— an amount roughly equivalent to combined annual emissions of 5.5 million gasoline-powered cars—and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs across the country while supporting healthier communities and strengthening America's energy security.

The PNWH2 Hub’s vision is to create a clean hydrogen ecosystem across the Pacific Northwest in partnership with labor, Tribal Nations and public and private sectors to improve the lives and futures of people throughout the region. The goal is to create a national clean hydrogen network that contributes significantly to decarbonizing various sectors of the economy; focusing on sectors that are challenging to decarbonize.

SRSH2 is one of eight nodes of the PNWH2 Hub and will receive funds to be used to finance the construction and equipment, the engineering and permitting and associated contractual costs needed for hydrogen production. SRSH2 is proud to represent St. Regis, Montana as a rural Justice40 community and will work with disadvantaged rural/tribal communities throughout Montana, the Pacific Northwest and Nation.
