WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 AT 12:00PM EASTERN. Join this month’s H2IQ Hour on November 3, 2021 at 12 PM E.T, to hear about results from the DOE Hydrogen Program’s Request for Information (RFI) on hydrogen demonstration locations around the U.S.

In June 2021, DOE’s Hydrogen Program issued a Request for Information to solicit information about possible demonstration locations across the United States. The RFI included questions about infrastructure, end users, and greenhouse gas reduction potential as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure work under Hydrogen Shot take environmental justice issues and disadvantaged communities into consideration. The DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, which coordinates work across the Hydrogen Program, will discuss the results of RFI and the opportunities hydrogen offers in various regions around the country.

The H2IQ Hour will include a 45-minute live presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. A recording of the H2IQ will be available on the website after the event
