Hydrogen for Industry Act: $1.2 Billion for Heavy Industry Decarbonization.

This law establishes a $1.2 billion grant program to help heavy industries (such as steel, cement, and fertilizers) adopt hydrogen technologies as a fuel or feedstock. The goal is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, potentially leading to cleaner air near industrial facilities. The program prioritizes projects that create high-quality domestic jobs and benefit low-income communities.
Key points
Grant Program: Federal funds (up to $400 million per project) are available for constructing or retrofitting industrial facilities to use hydrogen as a fuel or feedstock.
Community Benefits: Projects must maximize the creation or retention of domestic jobs and provide the greatest benefit to low-income or disadvantaged communities.
Safety and Study: Requires a federal study on the safety, transport, and environmental impacts of industrial hydrogen use, including leakage monitoring.
