WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Representative David McKinley (R-WV) and Governor Jim Justice (R-WV) announced their support for the new Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub, comprised of over 40 entities.

“West Virginia has a long history of powering our great nation, and the creation of the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub is another significant opportunity for West Virginians to power our future and bring thousands of jobs to the region,” said Chairman Manchin. “This collaborative effort to bring a hydrogen hub to Appalachia is great news that will benefit not only West Virginia, but our entire region. I was proud to lead the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that made this hub possible, and I’m thrilled we have the opportunity to become the new home of hydrogen, right here in the Mountain State.”
