[WHIP THE HORSE]

WE will get a chunk of that funding.

A future “hydrogen economy” using hydrogen as an energy
carrier and fuel could offer an alternative to today’s
economy with its prevalent combustion of fossil fuels.
Initially thought of as a new technology for personal
mobility services (e.g., cars) and high-value applications
such as provision of electric power during space flight,
hydrogen now is receiving attention for other applications,
including industrial processes, heavy vehicles, forklifts,
portable power, and electric power buffering and balancing

$9.5 billion! RI $NBLD seems ripe to receive a nice sized federal grant:

Recent Developments
IIJA appropriated $9.5 billion for three hydrogen- and fuel cell-related DOE programs (Division J, Title III) in addition to those amounts shown in Figure 1. In the largest of these,
the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs, DOE is to make awards totaling $8 billion to support demonstration projects involving networks of clean hydrogen producers and consumers and the connecting infrastructure. Congress directed DOE to choose hubs with a diversity of feedstocks (i.e., the primary resources converted into hydrogen), together with varied types of end-use of the hydrogen in its various applications. On September 22, 2022, DOE issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement for a first tranche of up $7 billion to support six to ten Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs.

Hydrogen Programs at Non-DOE Federal Agencies
Several other agencies—Department of the Army, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Department of
the Navy, among others—administer hydrogen programs;
DOE estimates that, for FY2019 and FY2020 combined,
projects funded by these other hydrogen programs totaled
over $40 million. Their projects range from basic research
on materials and novel methods of producing hydrogen to
activities aimed at early deployment, including
demonstrations of fuel cells in applications such as shore
power or emergency response ground vehicles.
