Hydrogen infrastructure is underdeveloped but growing rapidly as federal funding becomes available and industrial stakeholders invest in new technologies, but with expansion comes new challenges in navigating a changing energy landscape.
The Hydrogen Economy Collaborative aims to coordinate national efforts, especially those in the Midwest, with emerging hydrogen industries to synchronize new supply chains. Focus areas include research and development, production, infrastructure, distribution, education, outreach, and market development to help meet consumer preferences for a low-carbon energy solutions. In 2023, we are creating work groups to take action toward making our goals a reality.
Learn more about the collaborative
As a member of the collaborative, you will have the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of hydrogen stakeholders and learn about advancements in the field during bimonthly meetings. Together, we will work to find solutions for emerging issues in the hydrogen space and develop resources that facilitate the expansion of the hydrogen market.

Testimonials
Erik Severin
I’m new to the hydrogen economy in the Midwest, and being a part of the Hydrogen Economy Collaborative (HEC) has helped me quickly form relationships and learn about what’s happening in this region. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law & Inflation Reduction Act legislation attracting many new participants in the hydrogen economy, established groups like the HEC give perspective and experience to focus money & effort on truly effective projects, rather than revisiting known dead-ends.
