Portions of the funding in the Hub will go towards building the world's largest nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility at Constellation's LaSalle Clean Energy Center, in Marseilles, Illinois. In May, Rep. LaHood joined bipartisan members of Illinois' Congressional Delegation in a letter to the Department of Energy supporting the MachH2 application. The overall Hydrogren Hub will support clean energy investments and strengthen energy security in the Midwest and throughout the country, creating jobs and a network of hydrogen producers in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. "I applaud the selection of MachH2 as one of the nation’s first Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs, including its support for creating the world's largest nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility in Marseilles, Illinois," said Rep. LaHood. "Illinois, and specifically the 16th Congressional District, is home to robust energy resources and an established agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation network. This project will strengthen energy security in Illinois and throughout the country. With a healthy nuclear and carbon-free energy sector, central Illinois is in a strong position to be a leader in hydrogen production. In Congress, I will continue to support an all-of-the-above energy approach that invests in our domestic resources and returns our country to robust energy independence." The Midwest Hydrogen Hub will support clean hydrogen energy production including steel and glass production, power generation, refining, heavy-duty transportation, and sustainable aviation fuel. It is anticipated that the Hub will create over 13,000 construction and permanent jobs. You can learn more about the project here.
