Shedding light on the future of hydrogen in Texas

Hydrogen will transform Texas, but powerful corporations are keeping us in the dark.

It's time to shed light on HyVelocity.

What we’re fighting for

We are deeply distressed by the Department of Energy’s decision to advance the HyVelocity hydrogen application in Texas. Through the Department of Energy Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub program, the Biden administration is poised to transfer $1.2 billion in taxpayer dollars to HyVelocity, whose application sponsors include ExxonMobil and Chevron, and whose supporting partners include Amazon, Governor Greg Abbott, and the Texas Railroad Commission.

We urge the Department of Energy to compel HyVelocity to resolve its differences with community and labor organizations before choosing to move the applicant further in the process.

This includes, at a minimum:

  • Prioritizing projects that use renewable energy like wind and solar to help reduce overall carbon emissions. 

  • Binding community workforce agreements for construction workers with strong Justice40 commitments.

  • Binding labor peace agreements including neutrality and card check to ensure a just transition for fossil fuel workers.
