CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Today Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate and develop a regional clean hydrogen hub, announced Governor Mark Gordon’s office.
The states will work to compete for a portion of the $8 billion allocated in the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act towards four or more regional hydrogen hubs.
“Hydrogen has tremendous potential for energizing the next generation and Wyoming is particularly well-situated to develop, export and utilize hydrogen,” said Gordon. “Several businesses have already targeted Wyoming as a potential hydrogen production center and our university, state agencies and legislature are leading the development of hydrogen policy and technology both locally and nationally.”
The states will work together in developing a Western Inter-State Hydrogen Hub (WISHH) with supporting facilities in each state in response to the RFP that the US Department of Energy is expected to release in May 2022.
