3. Hydrogen can connect various sectors of the economy. For example, producing hydrogen when generation exceeds load on the grid can reduce curtailment of renewables and optimize existing baseload plants, such as nuclear. The hydrogen can be stored, distributed, and used as a feedstock for transportation (trucks, rail, marine, etc.), stationary power, process or building heat, and industrial and manufacturing sectors (such as steel manufacturing), creating an additional revenue stream and increased economic value. DOE’s H2@Scale initiative is tapping into hydrogen’s potential to unlock these opportunities.
