HYDROGEN: THE COMMON BOND
A Turning Point for the Hydrogen Economy
The Common Bond
Hydrogen is the most abundant molecule on the planet. It contributes to all life. In communities across the United States, hydrogen is already in daily use—in the fertilizers that grow our food, the refineries that make our fuels cleaner, and the power systems that keep critical facilities running. Hydrogen constitutes a “COMMON BOND” that unites life, community, and energy. The Common Bond campaign not only serves to educate the public and policymakers on the benefits of hydrogen, but also acts as a catalyst for advancing the hydrogen industry across the United States.

Our Mission: Empower States to Lead
The Department of Energy’s recent cancellation of all five remaining federally funded hydrogen hubs, representing more than $4.5 billion in lost commitments, marks a pivotal moment for America’s hydrogen future.
​
This shift confirms the core message of USHA’s Hydrogen: The Common Bond campaign; the next era of hydrogen growth will not depend on federal megaprojects vulnerable to political cycles. Instead, it will be built brick by brick, state by state through durable, bipartisan policies that unlock private capital, create jobs, and sustain momentum regardless of Washington’s volatility.
​
USHA is mobilizing to help states design and implement policies that make hydrogen development bankable, investable, and unstoppable.
​
Our focus: state hydrogen tax credits and hydrogen funds; practical, non-partisan tools that de-risk investment and accelerate infrastructure deployment.
“If Washington won’t build it, the states will.”

What is the Hydrogen Policy Leaders Roundtable?
The Hydrogen Policy Leaders Roundtable is a national forum convened by the United States Hydrogen Alliance (USHA) to unite policymakers committed to advancing the hydrogen economy. This invitation-only group provides a structured venue for legislators and government leaders to collaborate on hydrogen policy, share best practices, and coordinate state-level initiatives. Through regular discussions, educational briefings, and access to expert resources, the Roundtable equips policymakers with the knowledge and connections needed to design durable, bipartisan hydrogen frameworks. Together, members work to strengthen local economies, enhance U.S. energy security, and ensure hydrogen remains a cornerstone of America’s clean energy leadership.
