In a recent announcement, Governor Gretchen Whitmer revealed that the Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) is set to receive an $11 million investment to enhance its hydrogen operations. This investment will contribute to the expansion of MTA's fleet of fuel-cell buses and the development of its hydrogen production facility. The funding is part of the larger Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) project, which received a total of $22.2 million from the U.S. Department of Energy. Governor Whitmer highlighted that the investment will facilitate the planning and development of regional supply chains for hydrogen trucks and heavy-duty vehicles, promoting sustainable transportation solutions. MTA has been actively involved in promoting hydrogen-powered vehicles, having already replaced diesel buses with hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. The agency aims to further expand its hydrogen fleet with the additional funding, emphasizing its commitment to zero-emission public transportation. The initiative not only focuses on hydrogen buses but also includes vehicles powered by electricity, compressed natural gas, and propane. This investment signifies a significant step towards establishing Flint as a leader in environmental stewardship and innovation. Governor Whitmer's announcement also included funding for projects like a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit and a clean hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti. The overall goal is to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system while creating jobs and promoting clean energy initiatives in Michigan. Whitmer's continuous efforts in promoting the hydrogen hub project showcase Michigan's commitment to clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and job creation in the emerging hydrogen sector.
