When the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into force in November 2021, it brought with it a new focus on hydrogen as a vital part of the energy resources of the USA going forward. The new law included specific provision for a number of measures to shift the focus onto hydrogen, including Section 813, which covers the provision of $8 billion for the creation of at least four Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and a new Section 816 to provide $1 billion for a Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis Program. The new law also put time frames in place in which the Department of Energy (DOE) will need to start actioning the provisions of the Act. As a result, it has now taken the first steps to implement hydrogen procurement programs, issuing requests for information from both the industry and energy users. The next stage in the process is for the DOE to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement, after which the process of implementing the programs can get underway.

Sales and trading are the backbones of investment securities firms. Be it a stock brokerage, investment bank, or a hedge fund.
