Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen Secures $22.2M DOE Grant for Regional Supply Chain Development
Key Ideas
  • The $22.2 million DOE grant will support the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen in advancing regional supply chains for hydrogen trucks and heavy-duty vehicles, creating 12,000 direct jobs.
  • Key projects under this investment include a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit, a clean hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti, and the expansion of a clean hydrogen production and refueling center in Flint.
  • Michigan aims to establish itself as a hub for clean energy innovation and jobs, with investments in clean hydrogen production, supply chains, and workforce development expected to bring economic opportunities, energy independence, and environmental benefits.
  • Projects like hydrogen production at the American Center for Mobility in Ypsilanti and the expansion of fuel-cell buses in Flint highlight the state's commitment to sustainable mobility and reducing emissions.
The Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2), a Michigan-based project, has been awarded a $22.2 million grant from the Department of Energy to advance regional supply chains for hydrogen trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. The funding, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support the development of key projects, including a hydrogen 'Truck Stop of the Future' in Detroit, a clean hydrogen production facility in Ypsilanti, and the expansion of a clean hydrogen production and refueling center in Flint. These initiatives are anticipated to create 12,000 direct jobs and catalyze further growth in the hydrogen sector. Michigan's focus on clean energy innovation and job creation is evident in its partnerships with organizations like the American Center for Mobility (ACM), which will host a hydrogen production facility, and the Flint Mass Transportation Authority, which is expanding its fleet of fuel-cell buses. These efforts align with the state's vision of sustainable mobility technologies and reducing emissions. Overall, the investment aims to strengthen the manufacturing capabilities, grow the workforce, and position the Midwest as a leader in the transition to a clean energy sector. The $22.2 million grant will support Phase 1 of MachH2, which includes planning, design, development, and community engagement activities, with a focus on creating a clean hydrogen market and workforce.
