Siouxperman8 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Strib headline today - Hydrogen hub in Minnesota and North Dakota wins nearly $1 billion in federal money Inside the story - 'The Heartland Hydrogen Hub was shepherded by the University of North Dakota's Energy and Environmental Research Center. Its two main corporate partners are Xcel and a joint venture of Ohio-based Marathon Petroleum and TC Energy, a Canadian pipeline operator.' https://www.startribune.com/hydrogen-hub-in-minnesota-and-north-dakota-wins-nearly-1-billion-in-federal-money-doe-green-h2-xcel/600311930/ 1 Quote
