## SEC. 40313 CLEAN HYDROGEN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ###

(a)In General Section 805 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S. 16154) is amended— ####

(1)in the section heading, by striking “programs” and inserting “clean hydrogen research and development program”; ####

(2)in subsection (a)— #####

(A)by striking “research and development program” and inserting “crosscutting research and development program (referred to in this section as the ‘program’)”; and #####

(B)by inserting “processing,” after “production,”; ####

(3)by striking subsection

(b)and inserting the following: > > ### “(b) Goals > > The goals of the program shall be— > > > #### “(1) > > to advance research and development to demonstrate and commercialize the use of clean hydrogen in the transportation, utility, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors; and > > > #### “(2) > > to demonstrate a standard of clean hydrogen production in the transportation, utility, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors by 2040.” > ; ####

(4)in subsection (c)(3), by striking “renewable fuels and biofuels” and inserting “fossil fuels with carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, renewable fuels, biofuels, and nuclear energy”; ####

(5)by striking subsection

(e)and inserting the following: > > ### “(e) Activities > > In carrying out the program, the Secretary, in partnership with the private sector, shall conduct activities to advance and support— > > > #### “(1) > > the establishment of a series of technology cost goals oriented toward achieving the standard of clean hydrogen production developed under section 822(a); > > > #### “(2) > > the production of clean hydrogen from diverse energy sources, including— > > > ##### “(A) > > fossil fuels with carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration; > > > ##### “(B) > > hydrogen-carrier fuels (including ethanol and methanol); > > > ##### “(C) > > renewable energy resources, including biomass; > > > ##### “(D) > > nuclear energy; and > > > ##### “(E) > > any other methods the Secretary determines to be appropriate; > > > #### “(3) > > the use of clean hydrogen for commercial, industrial, and residential electric power generation; > > > #### “(4) > > the use of clean hydrogen in industrial applications, including steelmaking, cement, chemical feedstocks, and process heat; > > > #### “(5) > > the use of clean hydrogen for use as a fuel source for both residential and commercial comfort heating and hot water requirements; > > > #### “(6) > > the safe and efficient delivery of hydrogen or hydrogen-carrier fuels, including— > > > ##### “(A) > > transmission by pipelines, including retrofitting the existing natural gas transportation infrastructure system to enable a transition to transport and deliver increasing levels of clean hydrogen, clean hydrogen blends, or clean hydrogen carriers; > > > ##### “(B) > > tanks and other distribution methods; and > > > ##### “(C) > > convenient and economic refueling of vehicles, locomotives, maritime vessels, or planes— > > > ###### “(i) > > at central refueling stations; or > > > ###### “(ii) > > through distributed onsite generation; > > > #### “(7) > > advanced vehicle, locomotive, maritime vessel, or plane technologies, including— > > > ##### “(A) > > engine and emission control systems; > > > ##### “(B) > > energy storage, electric propulsion, and hybrid systems; > > > ##### “(C) > > automotive, locomotive, maritime vessel, or plane materials; and > > > ##### “(D) > > other advanced vehicle, locomotive, maritime vessel, or plane technologies; > > > #### “(8) > > storage of hydrogen or hydrogen-carrier fuels, including the development of materials for safe and economic storage in gaseous, liquid, or solid form; > > > #### “(9) > > the development of safe, durable, affordable, and efficient fuel cells, including fuel-flexible fuel cell power systems, improved manufacturing processes, high-temperature membranes, cost-effective fuel processing for natural gas, fuel cell stack and system reliability, low-temperature operation, and cold start capability; > > > #### “(10) > > the ability of domestic clean hydrogen equipment manufacturers to manufacture commercially available competitive technologies in the United States; > > > #### “(11) > > the use of clean hydrogen in the transportation sector, including in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles, rail transport, aviation, and maritime applications; and > > > #### “(12) > > in coordination with relevant agencies, the development of appropriate, uniform codes and standards for the safe and consistent deployment and commercialization of clean hydrogen production, processing, delivery, and end-use technologies.” > ; and ####

(6)by adding at the end the following: > > ### “(j) Targets > > Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Secretary shall establish targets for the program to address near-term (up to 2 years), mid-term (up to 7 years), and long-term (up to 15 years) challenges to the advancement of clean hydrogen systems and technologies.” > . ###

(b)Conforming Amendment The table of contents for the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58; 119 Stat. 599) is amended by striking the item relating to section 805 and inserting the following:" “Sec. 805. Clean hydrogen research and development program.” ".
