US coalition launches Hydrogen Forward
Formed by 11 players, the initiative calls for a comprehensive US policy approach to leverage the adoption of hydrogen solutions across the nation.
A coalition of 11 companies have partnered to form Hydrogen Forward, an initiative focused on advancing hydrogen development in the United States.
The initiative represents companies invested in all links of the hydrogen value chain from source to service - Air Liquide, Anglo American, Bloom Energy, CF Industries, Chart Industries, Cummins Inc., Hyundai, Linde, McDermott, Shell and Toyota.
Hydrogen Forward will focus on showcasing hydrogen’s value proposition among Washington, D.C. policymakers and other stakeholders to accelerate adoption of hydrogen solutions and related infrastructure build-out across the nation.
According to the coalition’s founding members, lack of systemic policy support for hydrogen risks derailing efforts to harness the power of hydrogen-related technologies in the US.
“While Europe and East Asia have committed to investing hundreds of billions of dollars into hydrogen solutions, the U.S. is the only major market without a national hydrogen strategy. A comprehensive approach is critical because it provides a much-needed framework to enable fast, large-scale adoption”, says a Hydrogen Forward statement.
