About the HyBuild™ North America Contracts Workstream
The HyBuild™ North America Contracts Workstream facilitates clean and green hydrogen market liftoff nationally by engaging with potential at-scale green hydrogen buyers to identify issues and key risks associated with green hydrogen procurement. Available to all GHC Supporters, this effort will create a framework that identifies the issues, requirements, and allocation of risks that must underpin hydrogen purchase agreements, including regionally specific considerations. This work also aims to form a hypothesis on actions (policy, market mechanism, etc.) to close the green premium gap and is intended to help improve the efficiency and efficacy of green hydrogen procurement nationally.
Jointly led by Sheppard Mullin, a nationally renowned law firm with a renewable energy practice:

This Workstream leverages a robust network of offtakers to participate in the effort.
The Buyers Advisory Board is made up of prospective large-scale green hydrogen buyers who provide industry-specific insights on the demand potential, needed infrastructure, and policies that would enable widespread adoption of green hydrogen.
HyBuild North America Contracts Workstream Advisors
HyBuild North America Contracts Workstream is supported by local, regional, and national subject matter experts, providing their unique expertise to support the mission of the initiative.
HyBuild™ North America
HyBuild North America’s strategic approach is based on aggregating multi-sectoral demand for green hydrogen in targeted locations. This enables scaled green hydrogen production facilities and needed shared transport and storage infrastructure to be designed and developed together from the beginning. The goal: achieve mass-scale supply certainty and low delivered cost (<$2/kg delivered). By solving for this goal, the GHC believes that it can accelerate more rapid fuel switching away from fossil fuels towards green hydrogen and its derivative products. In so doing, we can accelerate the realization of a clean and just energy transition.
