Researchers have increasingly come to believe that hydrogen - the most abundant element in the universe - could be a carbon-free fuel source for the future, powering commercial vehicles, ships, planes and industry without harming the environment. For that to happen a nationwide network needs to be established.
The Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub - a coalition of states that includes Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania - is pleased to announce that it has been selected as one of 7 national hubs to enter negotiations with the US Department of Energy for an award of up to $750 million for the production, distribution and consumption of clean hydrogen.
OUR GOALS
- Generate clean and predominantly zero emission green and pink hydrogen.
- Reuse and revitalize significant existing pipeline infrastructure in a formerly industrialized and still densely populated region.
- Create and retain more than 20,000 well-paying jobs, including union jobs, and generate a new talent pipeline in the clean energy sector.
- Provide economic opportunity and health improvements that will directly benefit disadvantaged communities in line with President Biden's Justice40 Initiative.
MACH2 will provide more wage-sustaining union jobs for people in construction, manufacturing and other sectors, as well as skills training for people who want to work in the clean energy economy.
Old pipelines and refineries will be retrofitted, upgraded and repurposed to support the clean energy economy with safety top of mind.
MACH2's clean energy will drive lower carbon emissions and damaging air particulates by replacing the current fossil-fuel based energy sources currently being used primarily in heavy duty transportation and industry.
The multi-year project begins with a 12-18 month planning phase that will prioritize the development of a Community Benefits Plant that addresses labor relations, environmental justice, diversity and equity, and community engagement.
"The Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub proposal is a win for the climate and the First State.

"The Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub proposal is a win for the climate and the First State. Investments in clean hydrogen will reduce pollution in our communities, create and sustain good-paying jobs, and power our industrial and transportation sectors with safe, reliable and clean energy. From our unparalleled innovation ecosystem and skilled union workforce, to our strong manufacturing base and existing infrastructure along the I-95 corridor, there's no better place for a hydrogen hub than Delaware and the broader Mid-Atlantic region."
US Sen. Chris Coons, Co-chair, Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus
"Pennsylvania must embrace its role as an energy leader, and we should leverage our skilled workforce and abundance of natural resources to become a regional clean hydrogen hub that will benefit the entire region.

"Pennsylvania must embrace its role as an energy leader, and we should leverage our skilled workforce and abundance of natural resources to become a regional clean hydrogen hub that will benefit the entire region. The Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub will reduce carbon pollution, create good-paying jobs, and spur innovation showing the rest of the country that Pennsylvania will lead the way to a cleaner and more prosperous future."
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro
"The Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub will create green jobs and clean energy to power our economy for generations to come. The men and women of the union construction trades are proud to be partners in this major initiative that has the potential to transform our workforce and improve quality of life throughout the region."
Southern New Jersey Building Trades Council President Daniel Cosner
"Clean hydrogen projects represent that potential and possibility and the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub proposal set forth with our regional partners is a truly exciting opportunity. Leveraging all the best aspects of our region - in particular our world-class sales force - there's a cleaner, greener and brighter path forward with lower emissions and better jobs.

The launch of the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program includes up to $7 billion to establish hubs across America, but key questions remain; how do we produce clean hydrogen at the volumes needed to support this burgeoning ecosystem, at comparable prices to gray or blue Hydrogen? And who are the potential users of green hydrogen?
The Green Hydrogen Summit East Coast aims to inspire and educate delegates on how to take advantage of the opportunities green hydrogen will offer financially and environmentally, and provide the connections to make projects possible.
The audience will include energy suppliers, project developers, debt providers and investors, utilities, gas TSOs and government officials, as well as potential industrial hydrogen end-users from industries like steel, aviation, maritime, and fertilizers.
The event goes beyond simply focusing on hydrogen and explores the role of other derivatives and P2X applications; biofuels, e-fuels, and green ammonia all have their part to play in the transition to decarbonization. Don’t miss out on the definitive event to capture the financial and environmental opportunities of Green Hydrogen, and beyond.
The event app will open 1 week before the Summit starts. Details will be sent out when people are registered.
