Two bicameral bills were introduced in Congress on March 11 to incentivize the maritime and shipping industries to transition to hydrogen power.
“As we grapple with energy affordability and our responsibilities to the future, we need to encourage energy innovation and pursue an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach,” Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) said in a statement. “Hydrogen fuel cell technology is a promising solution, and our bipartisan bill will better enable Americans and small businesses to harness the full potential of this reliable resource.”
