Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced a $22.2 million federal investment in Michigan’s Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2), a project aimed at creating 12,000 jobs and positioning the state as a leader in the clean energy revolution. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this initiative will accelerate hydrogen production and distribution for heavy-duty vehicles, contributing to Michigan's economy and climate goals. The investment will establish a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit, a clean hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti, and expand clean hydrogen production and refueling in Flint. This investment in clean hydrogen is expected to create good-paying jobs, boost the economy, support energy independence, and enhance public health. Clean hydrogen is crucial for fighting climate change and aligns with Michigan's MI Healthy Climate Plan. The Department of Energy (DOE) is investing $22.2 million in Phase 1 of MachH2, focusing on planning, design, development, and community involvement. The project is set to last about 12 to 18 months. U.S. Congressman Dan Kildee and U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell emphasize the significance of clean hydrogen in the transition to a clean energy future, supporting job creation and economic growth in Michigan. The Michigan Infrastructure Office and Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy are collaborating with MachH2 to establish a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit, aiming for significant emissions reductions. The Flint Mass Transportation Authority is expanding its hydrogen production and fuel-cell bus fleet, setting an example for other transit authorities and supporting the development of a hydrogen supply chain in Flint. Overall, stakeholders view the MachH2 initiative as a crucial step towards a cleaner, greener future for transportation and energy in Michigan.
