DOE Selects HyVelocity Hub for Historic Investment
The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that the HyVelocity Hub will be one of seven U.S. regional hubs to receive funding to accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen. UT Austin is the lead academic institution for the effort, which represents a broad coalition of industry and community partners.
HyVelocity Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub Applies for U.S. Department of Energy Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub Funding
The HyVelocity Hub team has applied for funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) $8 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs to rapidly scale clean hydrogen supply and demand along the U.S. Gulf Coast in Texas and Southwest Louisiana, and help deliver affordable, reliable, and abundant clean energy and well-paying jobs to local communities.

Community Archetypes in the Permian Basin and Their Relationship to Energy Resources
August, 2024
The Permian Energy Development Lab (PEDL) has used an archetype approach to build a detailed profile of each Permian county. Using the archetype framework for future studies, PEDL will identify challenges and opportunities associated with participation in the energy transition and propose fitted strategies promoting new economic growth.

Determining Life Cycle Emissions of Hydrogen Production Using the 45VH2-GREET Model for the 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit
August, 2024
This study provides an analysis of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with hydrogen production pathways in the context of the 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit (45V PTC) under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This study underscores the importance of integrating zero-carbon electricity (ZCE), implementing CCS technology and co-product valorization, and careful selection of feedstocks to maximize eligibility for the 45V PTC. Additionally, it provides insights into the various limitations of the latest 45V-GREET model, identifying opportunities for future research to further evaluate the model’s fixed assumptions and constraints. The findings are valuable for stakeholders in the hydrogen production industry aiming to leverage the 45V PTC to promote low-carbon hydrogen production.
