DOE Coal FIRST Initiative invests $80M in net-zero carbon electricity and hydrogen plants

Green Car Congress

Even a partial move toward a hydrogen economy will require vast quantities of hydrogen at low cost. Fossil fuels with CCUS are already—and by far—the lowest cost source of low-carbon hydrogen. Gasification of coal and biomass with CCUS can be a large-scale source of carbon-negative hydrogen.
