The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2), a coalition of over 70, up to $1 billion to launch a regional clean hydrogen hub (H2Hubs) in the Midwest, according to an Oct. 16 press release.
MachH2 is one of seven hydrogen hubs to be awarded by the DOE to accelerate the production and use of clean hydrogen, according to the release. The hydrogen hubs will reduce CO2 emissions by replacing fossil fuels with clean hydrogen in the steel, ammonia, cement and oil industries.
The hub is expected to be part of a national clean hydrogen network looking to provide clean energy investments, well-paying jobs and improved energy security. It will create 12,100 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs and includes two DOE national labs, multiple companies, universities and non-profits, according to the release.
“MachH2 brings together government, industry, academia and non-profits for the development of a Midwest hydrogen economy,” said Paul Kearns, director for Argonne National Laboratory—one of the members of MachH2—in the release.
