Mission, Vision and Goals

DOE Hydrogen Program Mission

The central mission of the U.S. DOE Hydrogen Program is to research, develop, and validate fuel cell and hydrogen production, delivery, and storage technologies. Hydrogen from diverse domestic resources will then be used in a clean, safe, reliable, and affordable manner in fuel cell vehicles and stationary power applications. Development of hydrogen energy will ensure that the United States has an abundant, reliable, and affordable supply of clean energy to maintain the Nation's prosperity throughout the 21st century.

The National Hydrogen Vision

Hydrogen is America's clean energy choice. Hydrogen is flexible, affordable, safe, domestically produced, used in all sectors of the economy and in all regions of the country.
