据管道&天然气杂志网4月11日报道，纽约州、新泽西州、缅因州、罗得岛州、康涅狄格州、佛蒙特州和马萨诸塞州向美国能源部提交了一份关于东北地区清洁氢枢纽中心（NE Hub）的联合提案。
该集体提交的文件是为了竞争作为《基础设施投资和就业法案》一部分的80亿美元联邦氢枢纽中心资金中12.5亿美元的份额。
NE Hub合作伙伴关系最初包括纽约州、康涅狄格州、新泽西州、马萨诸塞州，以及40个积极开发和部署作为更广泛能源转型重要组成部分的清洁氢的合作伙伴。
该伙伴关系于2022年8月扩大，包括罗得岛州、缅因州和另外25个氢生态系统合作伙伴。2023年2月，该合作伙伴关系增加到100多个合作伙伴，佛蒙特州也加入其中。
自2022年3月NE Hub启动以来，6个州和100多个合作伙伴签署了一份谅解备忘录，加入纽约州能源研究与发展局(NYSERDA)，合作制定提交的提案。
纽约州州长凯西·霍赫尔表示：“作为气候行动的领导者和东北地区清洁氢能中心的创始合作伙伴，纽约州在建立互联和可持续的氢能产业方面处于领先地位，这将为该地区带来就业机会和经济发展。”“我们准备与我们的州合作伙伴和当地社区合作，利用联邦资金，确保该计划惠及整个地区，同时成为全国互联氢能中心网络的一部分，并实现我们雄心勃勃的气候目标。”
连同联邦部分，该提案代表了36.2亿美元的投资，包括东北部七个州的十几个项目，这些项目推动清洁电解氢生产、消费和基础设施项目，用于交通和重工业等难以脱碳的行业。
该提案将由美国能源部审查，并将授予的提案指定为美国区域清洁氢枢纽之一。授予预计将于2023年秋季公布。
此协调一致的多州战略旨在创建一个生态系统，将氢气生产商和用户及其相关安全专家、技术原始设备制造商(OEM)、研发产学界、高端人才劳动力组织和劳工代表联系起来，共同推进清洁氢气项目。
根据这些指导原则，NE Hub项目包括用于交通运输的清洁电解制氢、高温工业热和公共供热设施，这些都是难以脱碳部门的代表。提案中包含的项目将在各州之间建立一个综合项目的区域中心，共同生产和利用清洁氢，推进在东北地区实现长期可持续清洁氢工业的愿景，并与其他清洁氢中心建立战略联系。
如果被能源部选中，NE Hub内的项目将在10至12年的时间内完成一系列四个严格开发阶段，每个后续阶段都需要在项目推进之前完成里程碑，包括技术数据和分析、社区参与和影响、工程、许可和安全、业务开发和管理、采购、建设和运营。
如果被选中，七个州的这项工作的管理和监督将通过美国能源部、作为主要被授予单位的NYSERDA、州合作伙伴和次级授予项目合作伙伴（该地区社区实施工作的组织）之间的密切协调与合作来完成。
虽然美国能源部完成了申请审查程序，但NE Hub提案中包含的项目、地点和组织的完整列表将不会公开。

Seven US States Submit Joint Proposal for New Clean Hydrogen Hub in Northeast Region
New York, New Jersey, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have submitted a group proposal for a Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub to the U.S. Department of Energy.
The group’s submission is for a bid to compete for a $1.25 billion share of the $8 billion in federal hydrogen hub funding available as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The NE Hub partnership initially included the states of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and 40 partners active in the development and deployment of clean hydrogen as an important component of the broader energy transition.
The partnership expanded in August 2022 to include the states of Rhode Island, Maine, and over 25 additional hydrogen ecosystem partners. In February 2023, the partnership grew to more than 100 partners, with Vermont also joining.
Since the launch of the Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (NE Hub) in March 2022, six states and more than 100 partners signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) joining the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to collaborate in developing the proposal submitted.
"As a leader on climate action and founding partner of the Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub, New York State is leading the way in establishing a connected and sustainable hydrogen industry that will bring jobs and economic development to the region," New York Governor Kathy Hochul said. "We are ready to work with our state partners and local communities to capitalize on federal funding and ensure this program benefits the entire region while becoming part of a connected hydrogen hub network nationwide and reaching our ambitious climate goals."
Together with the federal portion, the proposal represents a $3.62 billion investment and includes over one dozen projects across seven Northeast states that advance clean electrolytic hydrogen production, consumption, and infrastructure projects, for hard to decarbonize sectors, including transportation and heavy industry, among others.
The proposal will be reviewed by the U.S. Department of Energy with awarded proposals designated one of the nation's regional clean hydrogen hubs. Awards are anticipated to be announced in fall 2023.
This coordinated, multi-state strategy is designed to create an ecosystem that connects hydrogen producers and users and their associated safety experts, technology original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and the research and development community, workforce organizations, and labor representatives, for the collective purpose of advancing clean hydrogen projects.
In accordance with these guiding principles, the NE Hub projects include clean electrolytic hydrogen production for use in transportation, high-temp industrial thermal, and communal utilities for heat which are each representative of hard-to-decarbonize sectors. The projects included in the proposal are proposed to be sited to form a regional hub of integrated projects across states collectively producing and utilizing clean hydrogen, advancing a vision that enables a long-term sustainable clean hydrogen industry in the northeast region, and establishing strategic connections to other clean hydrogen hubs.
If selected for an award by the Department of Energy, the projects within the NE Hub will complete a rigorous series of four phases in development over the course of 10-12 years, with each subsequent phase requiring completion of milestones before projects move forward in the process, including technical data and analysis, community engagement and impacts, engineering, permitting and safety, business development and management, procurement, and construction and operations.
If selected, management and oversight of this endeavor across seven states will be accomplished through close coordination and collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy, NYSERDA as the prime awardee, the state partners, and sub-recipient project partners who will be the organizations implementing work in communities across the region.
While the U.S. Department of Energy completes the application review process, the full list of projects, locations, and organizations included within the NE Hub proposal will not be made public.
