Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey make up the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen hub, or MACH2, and would get $750 million to help utilize the region's legacy fossil fuel infrastructure, including pipelines, oil refineries and port facilities. Supporters say the hub will create more than 10,000 jobs and remove the equivalent of 220,000 gas-powered cars every year from the roads.
Not every proposal came away with federal funding, including the Northeast Hydrogen Hub, for example. This $3.62 billion proposal from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont would have built out more than a dozen projects in the region to help produce hydrogen.Why focus on hydrogen
The White House says about two-thirds of the $7 billion investment will go toward developing green hydrogen by using solar and wind energy to produce it.
