Shell/Equinor/US Steel Make Their Own Play for Hydrogen Hub

Looks like $2 billion is just too much of a temptation for Shell, Equinor (formerly known as Statoil), and U.S. Steel to resist. Those three companies have been a part of a joint effort with EQT, Williams, Southwestern Energy, and a few other companies in a group called Appalachian Energy Future (AEF), which was supposed to be the "one ring to rule them all" group aimed at enticing a hydrogen hub to one of the three Marcellus/Utica states (see EQT, Shell, Others Launch CCUS/Hydrogen Hub Initiative for OH-PA-WV). While Shell, Equinor, and U.S. Steel are not quitting AEF, the three together announced they would file their own application to attract the hydrogen hub (and its $2 billion) for themselves. Sounds kind of greedy, no? It also sounds kind of scattered and confusing.
