Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI)
In February 2022, the States of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate a regional clean hydrogen strategy to achieve the diverse policy objectives of this bipartisan coalition of states. The Western Inter-States Hydrogen Hub (WISHH) coordinates with industry partners, local communities, researchers, and other stakeholders to compete for a portion of the $8 billion allocated in the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act towards four or more regional hydrogen hubs.
The WISHH Executive Committee – composed of representatives selected by each State’s governor – has contracted with Rocky Mountain Alliance for Next Generation Energy (RANGE) to evaluate projects and partners that may participate in an application for funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
We seek information from those interested in participating in the clean hydrogen economy (producers, users, storage providers, and transporters) to inform early analysis and evaluate ideas for potential inclusion in funding opportunities.
Please complete this form if you are interested in engaging with WISHH on Hydrogen Hub initiatives. You may also indicate your interest in being added to an email list to receive announcements about the WISHH response to the forthcoming Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Hydrogen Hub Funding Opportunity Announcement.
