West Virginia Chamber Congratulates West Virginia’s Selection as Hydrogen Hub Location

October 13, 2023

Charleston, W.Va. The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is congratulating the selection of West Virginia as one of the nation’s seven Hydrogen Hub locations..

The West Virginia Chamber is proud to be a partner of The Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2).

The U.S. Department of Energy has selected ARCH2 for up to $925 million in federal support under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, supported by both Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and Sen. Joe Manchin, that will bring a hydrogen hub to West Virginia. In addition, the project is projected to bring thousands of jobs.

The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce was in strong support of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill as it is the first major “hard infrastructure” package to pass Congress in more than a decade.

West Virginia Chamber President Steve Roberts stated, “Today’s announcement is more wonderful news for West Virginia. Our state is an energy leader and can help supply the world’s growing need for affordable, 21st Century energy.”

Roberts continued, “It is important to note the critical roles played by both Senators Manchin and Capito in securing the Hydrogen Hub for West Virginia. We extend our deep appreciation for the leadership shown by Senators Manchin and Capito.”

The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to continue partnerships for the betterment of our state and will continue to support projects which move West Virginia forward.
