Argonne and University of Illinois to form Midwest Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Coalition

Green Car Congress

The states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas are home to a quarter of the US population and consume 30% of electric power generated in the US. As a consequence, the Midwestern states have some of the highest levels of renewable energy on their grids.

DOE Coal FIRST Initiative invests $80M in net-zero carbon electricity and hydrogen plants

Green Car Congress

The Coal FIRST Initiative recognizes the importance of hydrogen production from coal, biomass, and waste plastics. Even a partial move toward a hydrogen economy will require vast quantities of hydrogen at low cost. Fossil fuels with CCUS are already—and by far—the lowest cost source of low-carbon hydrogen.
