10th Annual National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day
National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day was created to help raise awareness of a clean energy technology that is here now. October 8th (10.08) was chosen in reference to the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008)
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day
The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), its members, industry organizations, and state and federal governments are commemorating National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day with a variety of activities and events across the country.
As we get closer to October 8th, we will share announcements, activities, and events that celebrate National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day!
Hydrogen Hubs: Expanding Support from Coast to Coast
How the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 Will Advance a U.S. Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Day So Far
This has already been an incredible decade for the hydrogen sector as over the last two years Congress and the Biden Administration have supported the growth of the industry through critical financial provisions, research funds, and deployment programs. The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law on November 15, 2021, includes $9.5 billion for clean hydrogen-specific programs, including $8 billion to deploy Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law August 16, 2022, includes a wide array of tax credits and grant funding that will drive investment and deployment across the industry. This includes the creation of the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, which FCHEA long championed and would provide a ten-year incentive for production based on carbon intensity. FCHEA is incredibly grateful to the support shown by both Congress and the Administration and excited for the growth that is already taking place across the country.

Hydrogen Energy Cuts Carbon & Creates Jobs
In the debate about renewables, good-paying jobs, economic security, and climate protection, hydrogen has the power to fuel us toward one shared goal: a stronger economy and cleaner environment.
As you formulate America’s energy policy, understand why hydrogen is vital to our clean energy mix. The costs of hydrogen and fuel cell production will continue to fall as investment, research, and development grows, making hydrogen an abundant, accessible, game-changing technology. It’s here today and critical for tomorrow.
