US Department of Energy Releases Updated Report on Pathways to Commercial Liftoff for Clean Hydrogen

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released its latest Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report, an update to the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Clean Hydrogen report, which was first released in March 2023 at the of the Liftoff effort.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released its latest Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report, an update to the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Clean Hydrogen report, which was first released in March 2023 at the of the Liftoff effort.

The U.S. clean hydrogen market is poised for rapid growth, accelerated by historic commitments like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs, the Inflation Reduction Act’s Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit (45V),

and DOE’s ongoing programs for research, development, demonstration, and deployment of clean hydrogen technologies. The Loan Programs Office’s investment activity supports at-scale clean hydrogen deployment, including a $1.04 billion conditional commitment to a natural gas pyrolysis project with Monolith, a $504.4 million loan guarantee to an electrolysis and energy storage facility with Mitsubishi Power Americas, Magnum Development, and Haddington Ventures, and a $1.66 billion loan guarantee to finance up to six electrolysis projects nationwide with Plug Power–the latter of which was just announced today. 

The newly updated Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Clean Hydrogen report complements these efforts by addressing four major updates since the original report that will impact the timing of Liftoff.* 

This update marks the fifteenth installment in the Department of Energy’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff series. The Liftoff series combines best-available data from across DOE other federal agencies with on-the-ground insight and realities from the private sector to develop a roadmap for how and when transformative clean energy technologies can reach full-scale deployment. These reports serve as “living documents.” This update serves as an analytical refresh of the original Clean Hydrogen Liftoff report, published in March 2023.

DOE develops its Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports with extensive stakeholder engagement and system modeling. DOE continues to solicit input through industry forums, requests for information, and regular interaction in the context of our authorities; direct public input can be submitted via email to liftoff@hq.doe.gov.
