U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap
This online engineering PDH course offers a comprehensive overview of the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap, highlighting hydrogen’s role as a critical enabler of deep decarbonization, energy security, and sustainable economic growth.
This course explains how clean hydrogen can support hard-to-decarbonize sectors, provide large-scale energy storage, and foster equitable regional economic growth. It examines the legislative foundations such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, as well as the DOE’s Hydrogen Shot initiative. Also, this course explores sectoral applications in industry, transportation, power generation, and fuels, while also addressing production pathways including electrolysis, fossils with carbon capture, biomass, and waste.
Moreover, this course explores real-world case studies and projects, including the Intermountain Power Project in Utah and the Clean Energy Complex in Louisiana, to illustrate the pace of hydrogen deployment across the United States. It evaluates barriers such as high costs, storage limitations, safety risks, and infrastructure needs, while also identifying opportunities for innovation, private and public investment, and workforce development that can advance the clean hydrogen economy.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to engineers and energy managers, as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about hydrogen strategies that align with national decarbonization targets and equity goals.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy, including its legislative foundation and DOE’s Hydrogen Shot initiative
- Differentiating between hydrogen production pathways (electrolysis, fossil with CCS, biomass/waste, and emerging technologies)
- Analyzing opportunities for hydrogen in priority sectors: industry, transportation, and power generation
- Evaluating infrastructure requirements, including pipelines, storage, and fueling stations
- Identifying economic and policy drivers, including tax credits, regional hub funding, and production standards
- Examining case studies of large-scale hydrogen deployment projects in the U.S.
- Assessing cost-reduction strategies and technological innovations needed to achieve $1/kg hydrogen
- Exploring challenges of adoption and equity considerations, including storage density, safety, permitting, and the Justice40 Initiative
