"US emissions to be reduced by 10% with Energy Department's hydrogen plan"
The Energy Department has released a roadmap that aims to reduce US emissions by 10% in 2050 using hydrogen energy. The strategy focuses on targeting hydrogen use in key industries, making hydrogen energy cheaper, and creating regional hubs. The Biden administration is specifically calling for clean hydrogen, which is formed using carbon-free sources. However, there is debate over whether existing energy sources can be used to create clean hydrogen. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has not taken a stance on the issue but says it is an important consideration.
