Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day Walk 2024. DOE colleagues celebrate Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day each year with a brisk lunchtime walk of 1.008 mile (yes, we track the exact distance on our smartphones). And we promise to share photos on social media. You are encouraged to do the same in your neighborhood or workplace—in fact, if you’re feeling especially energetic and you have the time, make it 10.08 miles! Then show off with a social media post tagging #H2DayWalk or #H2DayRun with a picture and one of our awesome H2 walk/run graphics or a customized certificate!

Take part in a live community forum session focused on clean hydrogen. One of the more exciting tools DOE has revealed in the past year is the public forums platform, which helps regional stakeholders engage with communities on the impacts, benefits, and opportunities of clean energy deployment. You are invited to join a live demonstration of the Harnessing Hydrogen forum today (October 7) at noon ET—register now!

Interested in a broad introduction to the clean hydrogen economy? The Hydrogen Education for a Decarbonized Global Economy (H2EDGE) program, supported by DOE and managed by the Electric Power Research Institute, will host a two-day virtual learning session October 8 and 9. This five-part session will explore a broad range of clean hydrogen topics, from production to economics to end use markets and applications.

Get active, get social. Follow EERE on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn and share a photo or post. Maybe even add something new and interesting you've learned about hydrogen. Don't forget to tag #NationalHydrogenDay #HydrogenNow and #FuelCellsNow in your post.

Ready for a deeper dive? The U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap released in 2023 explores detailed ways in which clean hydrogen can contribute to national decarbonization goals across the economy.

The federal government is making unprecedented investments to overcome all the barriers to clean hydrogen today—from advancing technologies in the laboratory, to deploying them in the field, to addressing safety and environmental concerns and ensuring the benefits of clean hydrogen are shared equitably across all communities. The Hydrogen Interagency Task Force (HIT)—a historic collaboration across numerous federal agencies—will further advance a whole-of-government approach to executing the national strategy. DOE's Hydrogen Program, led by HFTO, is a proud member of that task force. Read more about the HIT, the DOE Hydrogen Program, and HFTO.
