Flint's Mass Transportation Authority is set to receive $8.7 million to enhance its fleet of fuel-cell buses and expand its hydrogen production facility as part of the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen project. The total investment, including federal and state contributions, will advance the development of regional supply chains for hydrogen trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. Governor Gretchen Whitmer highlighted the significance of clean energy initiatives like the hydrogen hub project in creating jobs and solidifying Michigan's leadership in the clean energy sector. The funding will also support the establishment of a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit and a clean hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti. With a focus on promoting healthier and more sustainable public transportation, the investment reinforces Flint's commitment to zero-emission transportation solutions. The hydrogen fueling station, coupled with the expansion of the hydrogen fleet, signifies a step towards environmental stewardship and innovation in the community. Michigan's emphasis on clean energy and advanced manufacturing is expected to create 12,000 jobs and drive the state's future in the clean energy sector.
