Hydrogen hubs.

On Wednesday, the Energy Department signed a deal to launch a hydrogen hub in the Pacific Northwest, E&E News reports. This is the second hub deal in as many weeks, following California last week.

The Pacific Northwest hub will focus on “maritime hydrogen” to power shipping and port operations. “I think maritime hydrogen is part of our identity," the president of the hub told E&E News.
