Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
The purposes of this subchapter are—
(1) to enable and promote comprehensive development, demonstration, and commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in partnership with industry;
(2) to make critical public investments in building strong links to private industry, institutions of higher education, National Laboratories, and research institutions to expand innovation and industrial growth;
(3) to build a mature hydrogen economy that creates fuel diversity in the massive transportation sector of the United States;
(4) to sharply decrease the dependency of the United States on imported oil, eliminate most emissions from the transportation sector, and greatly enhance our energy security; and
(5) to create, strengthen, and protect a sustainable national energy economy.
