Hog Lick Pivots Away from Hydrogen, Considers WV Data Center

Three weeks ago, the Trump Department of Energy announced it is moving forward with funding for five of the original seven Biden-awarded hydrogen hub projects, spending $5 billion of the originally allotted $7 billion (see Trump DOE to Fully Fund ARCH2 and MACH2 Hydrogen Hub Projects). The preserved projects include the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2), led by West Virginia. One of the original partners, Hog Lick Aggregates LLC, was due to build a hydrogen fuel depot in Fairmont (Marion County), WV, as part of ARCH2 (see Hog Lick to Begin Work on ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub Depot). The depot would provide a “one-stop shop” for customers transitioning heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, construction equipment, delivery vehicles, and bus fleets from diesel to hydrogen. That plan has changed. [NOTE: We have added a statement by Hog Lick below on the company's involvement with the ARCH2 project.]
