GTI Energy announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has selected all three H₂ hubs in which GTI Energy is an administrator or partner to begin award negotiations for the development of the HyVelocity Gulf Coast H₂ Hub, the Appalachian Regional Clean H₂ Hub (ARCH2) and the Midwest Alliance for Clean H₂ (MachH2) Hub. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investment, each hub is poised to deploy H₂ at scale and deliver energy and economic benefits to surrounding communities.

The DOE’s Regional Clean H₂ Hubs (H2Hubs) will kickstart a national network of clean H₂ producers, consumers and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery and end use of clean H₂. Funded by President Biden's Investing in America agenda, the H2Hubs will accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of clean H₂—helping generate clean, dispatchable power, create a new form of energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry and transportation. Together, they will also reduce 25 MM metric t of CO₂ emissions from end uses each year—an amount roughly equivalent to combined annual emissions of 5.5 MM gasoline-powered cars—and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs across the country while supporting healthier communities and strengthening America's energy security.

GTI Energy brings its deep expertise and unwavering commitment to H₂ technology research and development, five decades of H₂ technology deployment initiatives, and long legacy of collaborative public-private leadership skills to the regional clean H₂ hubs. GTI Energy is committed to prioritizing community engagement while supporting energy and environmental justice, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in an effort to further the Biden Administration’s landmark Justice40 goals through the creation of the H2Hubs.

“We are excited to take part in DOE’s historic investment in scaling the H₂ economy and providing jobs and cleaner air to communities across the U.S.,” said Paula Gant, PhD, President and CEO, GTI Energy. “At GTI Energy, we believe energy transitions require cross-industry collaboration, and we are proud to innovate and work with industry leaders and community partners to make real the tremendous economic potential of clean H₂ hubs.”

“GTI Energy’s participation in driving H₂’s role in the broader energy system is a demonstration of our commitment to decarbonizing key sectors of our economy and enabling access to clean energy for our communities,” said Kristine Wiley, Vice President, Low Carbon Energy Solutions, GTI Energy. “Deploying H₂ at commercial scale will unlock market potential and opportunities for building out necessary infrastructure needed for a national H₂ network.”
