Clean Hydrogen and Environmental Justice Groups

Clean Hydrogen and Environmental Justice Groups

On May 29, 2024, the EFI Foundation hosted a webinar to highlight work in a series that dives into how communities and environmental justice groups perceive hydrogen development in the United States. The analysis is based on a survey of environmental justice groups and a study of signed public letters. This study is a follow-up to our “Factbook for H2Hub Stakeholders: Building Stronger Community Engagement in Hydrogen Hubs” and helps to further inform honest and meaningful community engagement in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program.
