The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) signed a $12.6 billion agreement to build a “clean,” “renewable” hydrogen hub in California on Wednesday, according to a press release from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In a first-of-its-kind deal, the DOE agreed to provide $1.2 billion to the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with the remaining $11.4 billion coming from public and private matching funds, according to press releases from ARCHES and Newsom’s office. Democratic politicians, including Newsom and Democratic California Sen. Alex Padilla, have lauded the agreement.

“I was proud to help secure $1.2 billion of federal investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build a hydrogen hub right here in California,” said Padilla. “California is leading the nation with the first hydrogen hub to sign a cooperative agreement, and we will continue to lead by decarbonizing goods[,] movement, the energy sector, and heavy industry.”
A “green hydrogen” power plant is essentially an energy wasting machine placed between a renewable energy source and an energy consumer.
