The program is managed by the Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). It operates under the governance of the DOE, with a focus on strategic planning and implementation oversight. The initiative is led by the **Director of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations**. Funding primarily comes from federal allocations, with significant private sector investment encouraged. | The program is managed by the Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED).

The H2Hubs initiative was established through the [[Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]] signed in November 2021. It was designed to leverage regional strengths for the production, storage, delivery, and use of clean hydrogen. The program officially started in 2023 with the announcement of the first hubs. It has evolved through several selection phases, with plans for continuous expansion and adaptation based on technological and market developments. | The H2Hubs initiative was established through the [[Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]] signed in November 2021.<ref name="BIL" /> It was designed to leverage regional strengths for the production, storage, delivery, and use of clean hydrogen.

==Funding== | ==Funding== | ||
H2Hubs was initially funded with $7 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Funding began in 2023, and it represents an ongoing commitment without a set end date. The initiative has attracted over $40 billion in private sector investment, demonstrating significant cost-sharing and support from the industry. | H2Hubs was initially funded with $7 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.<ref name="BIL" /> Funding began in 2023, and it represents an ongoing commitment without a set end date.
