The University of Pennsylvania will serve as an education partner in support of workforce development efforts with the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2), a partnership that will receive up to $750 million in U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funding through the historic Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program. The program, announced by the DOE on October 13, 2023, will award up to $7 billion in grants. MACH2 will aid in the creation of a clean hydrogen hub—a network of hydrogen producers, consumers, and local connective infrastructure—in Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and southern New Jersey. It is one of seven U.S. hydrogen hubs to receive funding. In this effort, Penn will work in partnership with Drexel University, the University of Delaware, Cheyney University, and Rowan University.
