Governor Gretchen Whitmer has announced a $22.2 million federal investment in Michigan's clean energy future through the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) initiative. The funding, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to position Michigan as a leader in the emerging hydrogen economy, creating 12,000 jobs in the process. The MachH2 initiative will focus on key projects such as a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit, a hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti, and expanding hydrogen-powered public transit in Flint. These projects are expected to catalyze economic growth, improve public health, and align with Michigan's MI Healthy Climate Plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit is designed to support the decarbonization of traffic on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, potentially reducing 8,250 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This facility will also serve as a testbed for hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicles, positioning Michigan as a hub for advanced mobility innovations. Ypsilanti will host a cutting-edge hydrogen production facility at the American Center for Mobility, enhancing the state's capabilities for hydrogen research and development. Flint's Mass Transportation Authority is expanding its hydrogen production facilities and fleet of fuel-cell buses, further solidifying Flint's role as a national leader in hydrogen transit. The initiative has received funding from various sources, including $11.25 million from the Make it in Michigan Competitiveness Fund and $2.9 million in matching funds from the Michigan Department of Transportation. The broader leadership in clean energy displayed by Michigan includes ranking first in the nation for clean energy projects and attracting over $26 billion in new investments. Phil Roos, Director of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, highlights the win for the planet, economy, and workforce through the MachH2 initiative, showcasing Michigan's potential to lead the hydrogen revolution and set a precedent for innovation and sustainability.
