Hydrogen Development Support

The New Hampshire Department of Energy must establish a Hydrogen Advisory Committee (Committee). The Committee, among other things, must:

• Identify opportunities to integrate hydrogen in the transportation, energy, industrial, and other sectors;
• Consider the construction of a dedicated hydrogen pipeline or network of pipelines to support power generation, transportation, manufacturing, and energy storage facilities; and,

• Consider facilities that result in the blending of hydrogen into existing natural gas transmission and distribution systems that serve transportation and other uses.

The Committee must publish a report of its activities, findings, and recommendations by October 1 of each year.
