Northern States Agree on Development of Hydrogen Hub
Written by Becca Moczygemba
Minnesota is joining forces with North Dakota, Montana and Wisconsin to develop a multistate hydrogen hub. The announcement, made on Oct. 5, stated the Heartland Hydrogen Hub will be a regional clean energy hub that spans across the northern states.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed by the governors of all four states, a proposal will be drawn up to obtain federal funding from the US government. The Department of Energy is currently accepting applications, with concept papers due Nov. 7 and applications due by April 7, 2023, and will select six to 10 hubs, with future opportunities for others to receive funding. Establishing an array of hydrogen hubs will expand the clean energy economy in participating states, create jobs, and contribute to achieving net-zero emissions.
