President Biden's plan to extend $7 billion in grants to seven hydrogen hubs across America has come under fire from environmental organizations
for supporting hydrogen production from natural gas. Numerous climate justice organizations have slammed the ambitious hydrogen plan of the U.S. Administration, saying it is extending the life of the fossil fuel industry while greenwashing its emission-reduction efforts. Some hydrogen hubs will rely on natural gas plus carbon capture and storage to produce hydrogen—the so-called blue hydrogen.
Mark Klewpatinond, Hydrogen Global Business Manager, ExxonMobil, commented, 'We look forward to helping HyVelocity Hub further advance hydrogen deployment across the Gulf Coast using our extensive experience.' The ARCH2 hub in Appalachia includes as partners major gas producers, including CNX Resources and EQT Corporation. Environmentalists criticized the grants to hubs planning blue hydrogen production as another taxpayer subsidy to Big Oil.
