FUNDING FOR CLEAN HYDROGEN HUB
In October, Ohio Chamber CEO Steve Stivers thanked the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for selecting the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) for up to $925 million in federal support under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Chamber was a vocal proponent of the ARCH2 project receiving funding. Its letter of support can be found HERE. The federal infrastructure law included $8 billion for regional clean hydrogen hubs to spur the production, transport and use of clean hydrogen across the nation. The primary objective of the ARCH2 program is to enable widespread deployment of infrastructure for clean hydrogen production, transport and end- use in the Appalachian Basin states of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania and adjacent eastern and midwestern states. The Hub is projected to create over 20,000 jobs in our region. Additionally, the $925 million in federal funding is expected to also generate up to $6 billion in additional private sector matching funding.
