Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Development Plans have been developed for New York, New Jersey and each of the states in New England with support from the US Department of Energy and the US Small Business Administration.  

Hydrogen and fuel cell projects are becoming increasingly popular throughout the Northeast region.  These technologies are viable solutions that can meet the demand for clean and renewable energy.  In addition, the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology would reduce the dependence on oil, improve environmental performance, and increase the number of jobs within the state.  These Development Plans provide links to relevant information to help assess, plan, and initiate hydrogen or fuel cell projects to help meet the energy, economic, and environmental goals in the region. 

Developing policies and incentives that support hydrogen and fuel cell technology will increase deployment at sites that would benefit from on-site generation.  Increased demand for hydrogen and fuel cell technology will increase production and create jobs throughout the supply chain.  As deployment increases, manufacturing costs will decline and hydrogen and fuel cell technology will be in a position to then compete in a global market without incentives.  These policies and incentives can be coordinated regionally to maintain the regional economic cluster as a global exporter for long-term growth and economic development.
