The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $29,681,912 Cooperative Agreement on July 24, 2024 under the Clean Energy Demonstrations Federal Grant Program (CFDA 81.255) to Battelle Memorial Institute to develop the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2). The project will establish ten hydrogen production facilities, one hydrogen storage facility with connected pipelines, and end-user capability across multiple sectors including residential fuel cells, quarry vehicles, data centers, agriculture, industrial heat, and mobility. The hydrogen will be produced using a variety of methods including auto-thermal reforming with carbon capture and storage, electrolysis, biomass pyrolysis, and separation from waste gases. Battelle has sub-awarded portions of the project to several other entities including natural gas companies, research organizations, and small businesses to support the diverse technical and operational aspects of the hydrogen hub.
