The US government is poised to retain $4.8bn for hydrogen hubs centred on fossil-based production, following a sweeping Department of Energy (DOE) funding review.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright told a House Appropriations Committee hearing on 15 April that a review of 2,200 projects had been completed and that DOE was “keen to move forward” with the majority of them.
