据世界天然气6月7日消息：美国能源部表示，他们已经制定了一个目标，即在未来十年内将氢作为能源的成本降低80%。
据联邦政府估计，利用可再生资源生产氢的成本约为每公斤5美元。通过所谓的Hydrogen Shot计划，政府表示正在寻找在十年内将其降低到每公斤1美元的方法。
美国能源部长Jennifer Granholm表示，该计划是全体人员齐心协力呼吁创新解决方案的一部分，以进一步朝着清洁能源的未来迈进。作为一项名为Energy Earthshot的更广泛倡议的一部分，这位部长表示，氢能开发是一个良好的开端。
“清洁氢能改变游戏规则，这将有助于高污染重工业和工业部门脱碳，同时提供高薪清洁能源工作，并在2050年实现净零经济。”
上周，一群加州议员呼吁立法领导人在州预算中增加3亿美元的资金，并从该州的清洁交通项目中分配更多收入，以促进氢燃料汽车的基础设施建设。
今年4月，森普拉能源子公司圣地亚哥燃气电力公司表示，该公司正在履行承诺，通过开发两个氢气试点项目，到2045年实现全公司温室气体净零排放。
美国能源部今年已经向八所大学拨款600多万美元，用于研究氢作为清洁燃料。
该部6月7日发布了一项信息请求，要求提供可以降低成本、减少排放和创造就业机会的“可行性”氢项目示范的信息。提交截止日期为7月7日。

US AIMS TO LOWER HYDROGEN ENERGY COSTS
The US Energy Department said June 7 it had set a goal of procuring ways to cut the cost of hydrogen as an energy source by 80% over the next decade.
Hydrogen produced from renewable resources costs around $5/kg, according to federal estimates. Through the so-called Hydrogen Shot programme, the government said it was looking for ways to cut that to $1/kg in one decade.
Jennifer Granholm, the US energy secretary, said the program is part of an “all-hands-on-deck” call for innovative solutions to move further along the pathway toward a clean energy future. As part of a broader initiative, dubbed Energy Earthshots, the secretary said hydrogen development was a good initial step.
“Clean hydrogen is a game changer,” she said. “It will help decarbonise high-polluting heavy-duty and industrial sectors, while delivering good-paying clean energy jobs and realising a net-zero economy by 2050.”
Last week, a group of California lawmakers called on legislative leaders to increase funding by $300mn in the state budget and allocate more revenue from a clean transportation programme in the state to boost hydrogen vehicle fuelling infrastructure.
In April, San Diego Gas & Electric, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, said it was making good on its promise to reach corporate-wide net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 with the development of two hydrogen pilot projects.
The US Energy Department this year has already awarded more than $6mn to eight universities to research hydrogen as a clean-burning fuel.
The department June 7 issued a request for information for demonstrations of “viable” hydrogen projects that can lower costs, cut emissions and create jobs. Submissions are due July 7.
