This Concurrent Resolution establishes the Clean Hydrogen Task Force to study and propose recommendations for developing Louisiana's clean hydrogen industry. The task force will examine how to produce, transport, store, and use clean hydrogen, which is a chemical element and an energy carrier that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions when used as a substitute for fossil fuels. The resolution outlines the task force's composition, including representatives from government agencies, the clean hydrogen industry, electric power companies, higher education, economic development organizations, and community interests. It mandates that the task force meet regularly, develop a comprehensive plan of recommendations for the governor and legislature by December 1, 2025, and address specific topics such as the clean hydrogen economy, infrastructure, investment, workforce needs, and emission reduction opportunities. The task force will be disbanded after submitting its final report.
