WV Legislature Joins Effort to Attract $2B Hydrogen Hub to State

Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia are all scrambling to form working groups or other alliances in an attempt to be THE state chosen for one of four regional hydrogen hubs funded by the recently passed so-called Biden infrastructure bill (see WV, OH, PA Compete Against Each Other to Attract $2B Hydrogen Hub). The new law provides $8 billion for four regional hydrogen hubs. It’s a safe bet one of those hubs will be located in either PA, OH, or WV. Out of the gate early in the race was WV. In March, WV’s U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Joe Manchin, along with Congressman David McKinley and Governor Jim Justice, submitted the West Virginia Hydrogen Hub Working Coalition’s official application to the U.S. Department of Energy (see WV Submits Official Proposal to Get Federal $2B Hydrogen Hub). It took more than a month, but the WV legislature has now joined the effort to attract the hub to the Mountain State.
