Hydrogen Development Support

By December 31, 2024, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) must develop and approve a hydrogen strategic plan that recommends policies, programs, and regulations to support Connecticut’s hydrogen economy. The strategic plan must, among other things, prioritize the use of hydrogen in the transportation sector and assess the cost difference between using hydrogen and fossil fuels in transportation and other sectors.

The Commissioner of DEEP and the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development must collaborate to pursue federal funding opportunities for state hydrogen projects.
