The tricky part with hydrogen is cleaning up pollution from the process of making it. Most hydrogen today is made using fossil fuels, and a few of the new hubs will continue using gas to produce hydrogen. The hubs are expected to catalyze another $40 billion in private investment, according to a White House press release.
