The $22.4 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program will support the H2theFuture Coalition led by the Greater New Orleans Development Foundation. The Coalition will boost New Orleans' clean energy sector by transitioning the regional hydrogen industry away from fossil fuel-based hydrogen production towards green hydrogen produced from renewable sources. Coalition projects include establishing a central campus connecting industry partners, coordinating programming to improve hydrogen cost competitiveness, developing testbeds for hydrogen-fueled ships, and constructing a hydrogen fueling barge. Once implemented, the investment is intended to strengthen regional industry clusters in clean energy and hydrogen technologies while creating good-paying jobs and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally in these emerging sectors. The award was issued on September 8, 2022 to the Greater New Orleans Development Foundation to execute the Coalition's work over the grant period.
