Clean hydrogen is one of many key components of the path to decarbonization, with emissions-intensive hydrogen currently used in several industrial sectors. Over the past few years, the Biden Administration and Congress had made massive investments into accelerating nationwide growth of a clean hydrogen industry and many countries around the world were following suit to keep up with U.S. innovation. However, since the start of the second Trump Administration, the future is uncertain for many of these policy incentives, and project developers and investors are unsure how to respond.

In this episode of Sci on the Fly, current AAAS STPF Executive Branch Fellow Angela Cleri speaks with STPF alumna Rachel Starr, a current Senior U.S. Policy Manager on Hydrogen and Transportation Decarbonization at Clean Air Task Force, about how the clean hydrogen industry has been shaped by these policies and what the future looks like.
