Hydrogen — Made in America, For America

The report identifies fragmented policies and challenged economics as primary barriers to the US hydrogen industry's scale-up, risking a loss of global leadership. It suggests that federal and state policymakers should maintain incentives, promote exports, and increase demand-side supports across sectors such as steel, aviation, and maritime shipping to secure supply chains and expand the industrial base.

• The US hydrogen industry is experiencing slow growth and facing headwinds, which creates a risk that the United States will fall behind other nations that are more actively establishing markets and securing their supply chains.
• Growth in the domestic hydrogen market is being stalled by weak demand, which is attributed to fragmented policies and difficult economic conditions within various domestic offtake sectors.
• To accelerate investment and solidify energy leadership, the report recommends that policymakers retain existing federal incentives, foster the export market, enhance demand-side incentives for hydrogen and its derivatives, and improve infrastructure policy supports.
