Hawaiʻi County Getting Support from Clean Hydrogen Mentors

The City of Lancaster recently won the U.S. Department of Energy’s inaugural H2 Twin Cities Initiative with its H2 – TRANS – PACIFIC Team proposal to develop clean hydrogen solutions for energy sustainability and strengthening ties across the Pacific.

Through this trans-Pacific Mentor-Mentee partnership of municipal leaders, Lancaster and Namie, Japan, have pledged to share best practices and strategies to accelerate hydrogen and fuel cell use in Hawaiʻi County. Namie and Lancaster are the world’s first hydrogen cities and have attracted corporate, government, and academic sponsors to help build out their infrastructure.
