CHICAGO, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) announced today that it will submit an application to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a regional clean hydrogen production and distribution hub to be funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Under the Act, DOE will invest up to $8 billion to catalyze investment "to form the foundation of a national clean hydrogen network that will contribute substantially to decarbonizing multiple sectors of the economy."

Key Points: 
  • Each member shares a commitment to promoting equity and furthering the administration's Justice40 goals through the development of the hub.
  • The Midwest's location at the crossroads of America and its strong transportation infrastructure make it ideally suited for supplying clean hydrogen nationwide.
  • "The Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen is a bold project to reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions from industry and transportation through deployment of clean hydrogen," said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
  • With strong collaboration from many of Illinois' leading institutions, MachH2 would make an excellent choice for the Department of Energy's Midwestern Clean Hydrogen Hub."
