Offices are getting creative with work-from-home policies, restaurants are developing expansive takeout options, and healthcare facilities are offering virtual doctor\u2019s appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy and industrial companies are looking to innovate too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hottest technologies for innovation right now is hydrogen. In addition to job-creating capabilities, hydrogen is a versatile, clean energy carrier that can help the nation reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and achieve net-zero emissions goals. It\u2019s used to decarbonize industrial processes, store and provide backup energy for the electric grid, and serves as a transportation fuel for busses, long-haul trucks and passenger vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Indiana\u2019s leaders are far ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Reps. Greg Pence and Andre Carson have introduced H.R. 1788, the Clean Energy Hydrogen Innovation Act, to advance innovation in hydrogen energy in Indiana and across the country. The bill would, among other things, give access to low-cost financing for projects relating to hydrogen production, delivery, infrastructure, storage, fuel cells and end uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And likewise, U.S. Sen. Todd Young introduced S.4970, the Hydrogen Utilization and Sustainability Act last year to include electricity produced from hydrogen as eligible for the Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (PTC). The bipartisan bill would promote investment in hydrogen-based energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, Indiana has become a major hub for hydrogen technology, and many of the advancements in this industry are happening here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therepublic.com\/2021\/04\/28\/letter_indiana_is_becoming_americas_hydrogen_innovation_hub\/\">here<\/a> to read the full article<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>View more of&nbsp;<a href=\"\/our-take\">Our Take<\/a>&nbsp;and let us&nbsp;know what you think at <a href=\"mailto:jaylistens@saperemarketing.com\">jaylistens@saperemarketing.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana\u2019s federal lawmakers are ahead of the curve on investing in new, clean technologies that create new jobs and a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
