Site work and new construction of a power facility in Houston, Texas. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a power facility.

The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub will be centered in the Houston region, the traditional energy capital of the United States, and will stretch across the Texas coast. The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub will help kickstart the clean hydrogen economy with its plans for large-scale hydrogen production using both natural gas with carbon capture and renewables-powered electrolysis, leveraging the Gulf Coast region’s abundant renewable energy and natural gas supply to drive down the cost of hydrogen—a crucial piece to achieving market liftoff. To help lower the cost of distribution and storage and reach more hydrogen users, the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub plans to develop salt cavern hydrogen storage, a large open access hydrogen pipeline, and multiple hydrogen refueling stations. The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub will use the hydrogen for fuel cell electric trucks, industrial processes, ammonia, refineries and petrochemicals, and marine fuel (e-Methanol). The introduction of clean hydrogen into these industries is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 7 million metric tons per year, equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 1.5 million cars. For more information please contact: GulfCoastH2Hub@hq.doe.gov As of November 7, 2024, the HyVelocity H2Hub (Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub) in the Houston area: Will receive up to $1.2 billion and use natural gas with carbon capture and renewables-based electrolysis for large scale hydrogen production (35,000 construction jobs). In July 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decided to send Houston-based Commonwealth LNG’s authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission back to the agency for review.
