Connecting Hydrogen Producers and Consumers
Texas is well-suited to become the leading producer of low-cost hydrogen in the US due to its existing infrastructure and proximity to renewable energy sources, consumers, ports, and storage resources. The Texas Hydrogen Association aims to support the growth of the hydrogen energy sector in Texas, establishing a network to globally connect producers, consumers, and capital providers.
