The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Heartland Hydrogen Hub, including multiple clean hydrogen projects from Xcel Energy, for award negotiations to receive up to $925M. The award will serve as a catalyst for a future hydrogen ecosystem in the Upper Midwest. The Heartland Hydrogen Hub, or HH2H, is one of seven selected to receive funding. The hub includes Xcel Energy, Marathon Petroleum Corporation and TC Energy, in collaboration with the University of North Dakota’s Energy & Environmental Resource Center, to produce and use low-carbon hydrogen at commercial scale in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. The hub aims to reduce carbon emissions by more than 1M metric tons per year, the equivalent of taking 220,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road.
