Hydrogen Roadmap for the U.S. Midwest Region

July 2017

This Hydrogen Roadmap for the U.S. Midwest region has been developed for the Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Cell Collaborative (RHFCC) and the Midwest Hydrogen Center of Excellence (MHCoE). The RHFCC was established to propel the Midwest to become a national leader in the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles through education, advocacy, and research. The RHFCC is a collaboration between the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) and the Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research. A key initiative of the RHFCC is the MHCoE, which supports regional advancement and adoption of hydrogen-powered, zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in Midwestern public transit. There is currently a multistate effort underway by these organizations to encourage and support the utilization of hydrogen as the energy source for the states’ transportation needs.
