Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico team up to compete for a share of federal funds to be awarded for the development of regional clean hydrogen hubs.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is betting big on generating electricity with green hydrogen out of sheer necessity, its top official said.

The widespread adoption of green hydrogen will depend on construction of “ecosystems” that span sectors and geographic boundaries, industry supporters say.

There’s a growing consensus in the West that green hydrogen could play a key role in decarbonizing the region’s energy system, but questions still loom around exactly how the fuel will be used in that effort.
