Selectee name: Heartland Hydrogen Hub (HH2H)
Location: Heartland region including North Dakota with site assessment across the Upper Midwest and Colorado
Federal Cost Share: Up to $925 million
Prime Contractor: Heartland Hydrogen Hub, LLC (Heartland LLC), led by University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC)
Summary: The Heartland Hydrogen Hub is determining proposed locations across the Heartland region of Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Located in a region known for agricultural production, mineral mining, and energy production, the Hub plans to produce commercial-scale quantities of clean hydrogen that would be used for American-made, low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer, increasing fertilizer supply in the region and lowering costs for farmers. This could reduce CO2 emissions by 525 thousand metric tons per year—equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 120,000 gasoline powered cars.
