HyVelocity Hub: Rapidly Scaling Clean Hydrogen Supply and Demand

HyVelocity Hub: Rapidly Scaling Clean Hydrogen Supply and Demand
The HyVelocity Hub is a collaborative comprised of non-profit research organizations, academia, and leading energy companies working to advance the clean hydrogen ecosystem in Texas, Southwest Louisiana, and along the U.S. Gulf Coast. With more than 1,000 miles of dedicated hydrogen pipelines, and 48 hydrogen production plants, the Gulf Coast is already the nation’s largest hydrogen producer. It is home to a diverse array of energy resources, including hydrogen production facilities and pipelines, a large base of industrial energy consumers, and a skilled workforce. The HyVelocity Hub will support and build on Houston’s Clean Hydrogen Roadmap.
GTI Energy, Center for Houston’s Future, and The University of Texas at Austin are among the founding members of the HyVelocity Hub which seeks Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Paula A. Gant, PhD
“The name ‘HyVelocity’ conveys the idea that we have a tremendous opportunity to accelerate the creation of a clean hydrogen market at the pace needed to meet aggressive decarbonization goals for communities in our nation and around the globe.”

Brett Perlman
“We are pleased to be partnering with our colleagues at GTI Energy in creating HyVelocity Hub as the implementation platform for the shared vision of a Texas-sized global clean hydrogen ecosystem created by our collaborative stakeholder process. The realization of this vision will be achieved faster with clean hydrogen hub funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”

Adam Peters
“At Air Liquide, we’re proud to bring our 60 years of hydrogen expertise to the HyVelocity Hub, and to join our customers and industry partners in this initiative. Together, we will support the U.S. Department of Energy's vision for hydrogen ecosystem development and work to further deploy low-carbon and renewable hydrogen throughout the Gulf Coast. The HyVelocity Hub has great potential to model hydrogen’s ability to decarbonize industrial basins while transitioning our communities’ workforce towards high-paying, clean energy jobs.”

Jay Hartzell
“The University of Texas is a national leader in energy research where hundreds of faculties and students are working with private sector partners and other academic institutions to develop, test, and deploy the next generation of clean hydrogen technology. UT Austin is proud and excited to lend its energy expertise and hydrogen experience to the HyVelocity Hub and work with its members to ensure that Texas flourishes in the coming hydrogen energy economy.”

Rich Byrnes
"Accelerating clean energy technologies is vital to addressing global climate challenges as well as local air quality, and Port Houston is excited to participate in advancing these efforts with the HyVelocity Hub. The Hub will benefit trucking and maritime sectors, and our communities tremendously with cleaner transportation, lower emissions, new jobs, and both social and environmental equity."
