Michigan invests $7.5M to research geologic hydrogen as a clean energy source
Reported byGrist ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Michigan announced $7.5 million in funding to research geologic hydrogen—a naturally occurring, carbon-free energy source buried beneath the state that could power heavy-emitting industries like trucking, steel, and cement manufacturing. A 2025 USGS survey identified Michigan as one of the highest-potential areas in the country for this resource.
This is exploratory research to determine whether the hydrogen exists in usable quantities, is accessible, and can deliver the hoped-for benefits. Early-stage work does not guarantee commercial deployment.
