Michigan Advances Geologic Hydrogen As New Energy And Revenue Source

Michigan is exploring underground geologic hydrogen with a new $7.5 million grant for research and development. A U.S. Geological Survey report previously ranked Michigan as having the best position in the nation for geological hydrogen capabilities. Geologic hydrogen occurs naturally in the Earth’s subsurface and produces only water when burned. Funding for the grant is provided through the Make It in Michigan Competitiveness Fund. In January, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued an executive directive creating the Michigan Geologic Hydrogen Exploration and Preparedness Initiative.
