The hydrogen industry is at a pivotal moment in its evolution. The groundbreaking policy advancements of 2023, including the introduction of 45V tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the allocation of $7 billion for regional clean hydrogen hubs through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, have set new benchmarks for the sector. Adding to this momentum, $47.7 million in funding has been dedicated to advancing clean hydrogen technologies—some of the most significant investments in the industry's history.

As we look ahead, a critical question looms: How will the incoming administration build on this momentum to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen-powered future?

Our West Coast Hydrogen Summit in Seattle is set to bring together a dynamic and diverse audience. From energy suppliers, project developers, and investors to utilities, gas TSOs, government officials, and industrial end-users in sectors like steel, aviation, maritime, and fertilizers—this event will be a key gathering for leaders driving the hydrogen revolution.

Seattle, strategically located in the Pacific Northwest, has become a hub of hydrogen innovation. The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub's recent allocation of $27.5 million for its hydrogen project plan cements the region's role as a leader in this transformative industry.

At this summit, we’ll delve into the critical challenges and opportunities facing the sector:

• Scaling Production: How can we ramp up clean hydrogen production to meet growing demand while maintaining cost competitiveness with Gray and Blue Hydrogen?
• Identifying Key Players: Who will lead and consume in this Green Hydrogen revolution?
• Unlocking Potential: What financial and environmental benefits does Green Hydrogen offer?

Join us in Seattle to connect with industry leaders, gain invaluable insights, and play a role in shaping the future of clean energy. This is your chance to explore the vast opportunities presented by Green Hydrogen and to position yourself at the forefront of a global transformation.

We look forward to welcoming you to Seattle and working together to power the future.
