In 2019, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) released the Road Map to a US Hydrogen
Economy: Reducing Emissions and Driving Growth Across the Nation at the 2019 Fuel Cell Seminar & Energy
Exposition. This report was developed with input from 20 companies and organizations. The road map looks forward
to seeing joint efforts from and right steps carried out by policymakers and the industry in the U.S., to continuously
expand relevant industrial activities during the rapid rise and development of the hydrogen economy. As a result, the
leadership of the nation in the global energy sector can be further consolidated.

such as Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and
Australia. By 2030, the hydrogen economy in the US
could generate an estimated $140 billion per year in
revenue and support 700,000 total jobs across the
hydrogen value chain. By 2050, it could drive growth
by generating about $750 billion per year in revenue
and a cumulative 3.4 million jobs.
