WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25 - THURSDAY, JUNE 25. The deployment of clean fuel buses (hybrid, electric, hydrogen) in the United States has gained momentum in recent years, driven by federal and state-level commitments to clean transportation.
However, the policy landscape for deployment of zero emission buses (ZEBs) remains uncertain under the Trump administration. A shift in federal policies could impact funding allocations, emissions regulations, and incentives that have supported the expansion of zero-emission transit fleets. Industry stakeholders must adapt to evolving priorities while maintaining momentum toward long-term environmental and operational goals.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1. 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?
The Green Hydrogen Summit USA 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.
Join us 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.
