Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Economy Could Support Millions of Jobs by 2050

When it comes to finding common ground between creating a stronger economy and a cleaner environment, there’s one energy solution that fits the bill—hydrogen and fuel cell technology. A McKinsey report found that by 2050, the U.S. hydrogen industry could generate an estimated $750 billion per year in revenue and support 3.4 million jobs. It also highlights that hydrogen offers solutions to tough climate challenges that other forms of energy are unable to tackle. Clean hydrogen holds immense potential as an alternative fuel and industrial feedstock for industries that are difficult to decarbonize using other energy sources.

To elevate the current and future potential of hydrogen energy, the country’s leading hydrogen organization representing more than 50 companies—the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA)—is leading a charge with a new campaign: Hydrogen Bonds. This multi-faceted effort highlights key benefits of hydrogen and fuel cell technology to stimulate the economy, create jobs, support climate goals and secure American leadership in the global sector.
