This Cooperative Agreement award of $20,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) is for the Heartland Hydrogen Hub project. The project aims to establish a regional hydrogen hub across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota to help decarbonize the agricultural sector's fertilizer production and enable the use of clean hydrogen for power generation. Key project components include:

  • Leveraging the region's abundant energy resources to produce and use clean hydrogen, with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 1 million metric tons per year
  • Offering equity ownership opportunities to the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, as well as local farmers and cooperatives, to promote broader community benefits
  • Creating an education consortium to oversee career development, workforce training, and STEM education programs, including partnerships with tribal colleges
  • Committing to contract hundreds of millions of dollars with businesses owned by underrepresented groups
  • Anticipating the creation of over 3,800 direct jobs, including 3,067 construction jobs and 703 permanent positions

The University of North Dakota's Energy and Environmental Research Center will serve as the program manager, responsible for the project's programmatic and financial administration.
