SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are extensive opportunities to produce clean hydrogen from diverse domestic resources, and both the DOE Hydrogen Program and industry have identified opportunities for using that clean hydrogen across multiple applications and sectors. The Hydrogen Program is interested in hearing from stakeholders, which of these areas would provide potential locations for near-term, largescale, clean hydrogen demonstration projects, where near-term refers to deployment in the next few years. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, investors, developers, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on potential hydrogen demonstration projects and their associated locations, including potentially ideal locations in the United States. Specifically, DOE is requesting input on the following categories:
Regional Hydrogen Production, Resources, and Infrastructure End Users for Hydrogen in the Region, Cost, and Value Propositions Greenhouse Gas and Pollutant Emissions Reduction Potential Diversity, Equity, Inclusion DEI, Jobs, and Environmental Justice Science and Innovation Needs and Challenges
Additional Information Specific questions can be found in the RFI. The RFI is available at: https eereexchange.energy.gov/.

Statutory provision
Description
Satisfies Y/N

FPA 30a3A

The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity.
The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.
The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40 megawatts
