A reactor for electrified steam methane reforming, used to generate hydrogen, at the University of Houston. The Leading in Gulf Coast Hydrogen Transition hub includes UH as the lead academic partner, the Southern States Energy Board, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Marathon Petroleum subsidiary MPLX and chemical companies INEOS and Linde.
The DOE selected three Texas hydrogen hubs – including two in Houston – to submit applications for a piece of the $7 billion pie the agency has set aside for the development of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuel. The funds would offer a boost to a region already poised to lead in hydrogen, a cleaner-burning gas that many of Houston's energy companies see as key to their efforts to decarbonize their operations. The hubs would be in places with abundant natural gas reserves and would test ways to produce and use hydrogen.
The three Texas proposals are among 33 projects still in the running for DOE funding, down from 79 submitted last year. As many as 10 hubs could be chosen to receive the money. The Texas coalitions include: The Leading in Gulf Coast Hydrogen Transition hub, which includes the University of Houston as the lead academic partner, the Southern States Energy Board, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Marathon Petroleum subsidiary MPLX and chemical companies INEOS and Linde.
