National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap - Toward a more secure and cleaner energy future for America -

Abstract

This Roadmap provides a blueprint for the coordinated, long-term, public and private effects required for hydrogen energy development. Hydrogen provides high efficiency, can be produced from a variety of domestically available resources, and offers near-zero emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases.

The first step in that process resulted in publication of the National Vision of America’s Transition to a Hydrogen Economy. This Roadmap represents the next step in that process.

Hydrogen has the potential to play a major role in future energy system. This Roadmap outlines key issues and challenges in hydrogen energy development and industry can take to expand use of hydrogen-based energy.
