Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association

The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2), a multi-state nonprofit coalition focused on creating a network of clean hydrogen suppliers and end-users in the Pacific Northwest, named Chris Green as its first president. Green will be responsible for executing on PNWH2's vision to create a clean hydrogen ecosystem across Washington, Oregon and Montana in partnership with labor, Tribal Nations, and public and private sectors. Green will lead the hydrogen hub as it kicks off Phase 1, which encompasses detailed project planning in collaboration with the Department of Energy to ensure that the overall concept and proposed projects are technologically, financially, and legally viable, with buy-in from regional and partner tribes and local stakeholders, including labor and environmental groups. Green comes from the Washington State Department of Commerce, where he served as assistant director for the Office of Economic Development and Competitiveness and was instrumental in establishing PNWH2. As part of this new role, Green will transition from PNWH2 board chair, a position he has held since March 2023. PNWH2 is one of seven entities selected for the U.S. Department of Energy's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
