The Department of Energy Hydrogen Program Plan
The Department of Energy Hydrogen Program Plan is a foundational resource for advancing research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of clean hydrogen technologies.
It specifically identifies and articulates strategic, high-impact areas of focus across DOE’s Hydrogen Program—a cohesive and coordinated effort involving multiple hydrogen-related offices including the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Electricity, Office of Science, Loan Programs Office, Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains, Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, and Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy.
This updated version of the Hydrogen Program Plan explains how DOE offices collaboratively work to efficiently implement the broader strategies outlined in the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap. It also includes updated supporting data and analysis, a description of the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs, information about ambitious DOE-wide goals established through the Hydrogen Shot™, and examples of DOE-wide efforts to establish a strong workforce, maximize technology efficiency, and accelerate innovation in the transition to a hydrogen economy.
