The $6.75 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program will support the H2theFuture Coalition's efforts to boost the clean energy sector in New Orleans through hydrogen energy initiatives. Led by the Greater New Orleans Development Foundation, the Coalition will work to transition the regional hydrogen sector away from fossil fuel-based production toward green hydrogen generated from renewable sources. Projects under the award include establishing a central campus to connect industry partners, coordinating programming to improve hydrogen cost competitiveness, developing testbeds for hydrogen-fueled ships, and constructing a hydrogen fueling barge. Sub-awardee the Port of South Louisiana dba Globalplex Terminal will aid delivery of these services. The funding is expected to help strengthen regional industry clusters in clean energy while creating jobs and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally.
