The Great Lakes Clean Hydrogen coalition (GLCH) said it received encouragement from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to submit of a full hydrogen hub application.
The coalition, which includes Linde, Energy Harbor, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., GE Aerospace and the University of Toledo, proposes to develop low-carbon hydrogen via electrolysis at Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor, Ohio. The facility would distribute the hydrogen across the Great Lakes region by pipeline and road transportation.
GLCH was selected as one of 33 projects encouraged to proceed to the full application process. DOE said 79 organizations submitted concept papers in total. The Department’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program includes up to $7 billion to establish six to 10 regional clean hydrogen hubs across the U.S.
