Washington State Department of Commerce works with communities on hydrogen and renewable fuels
In Washington, Washington State Department of Commerce said it is working to ensure hydrogen and renewable fuel development benefits communities, supports workers, and protects public health.
As Washington’s hydrogen market grows, it’s important for hydrogen developers to take steps that ensure their projects don’t harm nearby communities and tribes and provide these groups with benefits, the government body said.
“Commerce is actively engaging communities in hydrogen policy development through hydrogen and renewable fuels initiatives and collaboratives including Washington Maritime Blue’s Sustainable Maritime Fuel Collaborative, the Cascadia Sustainable Aviation Accelerator and the Alternative Jet Fuel Workgroup,” the entity said.
“Commerce is assessing opportunities for regional job creation and economic development in Washington state. The Centralia and Lewis County Electrolytic Hydrogen Production Opportunity Study analyzes the opportunities for the transition from coal to green electrolytic hydrogen production in Centralia and the greater Lewis County, which includes leveraging and supporting the local skilled workforce and boosting economic development,” it added.
