WINDSOR, Conn., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC), a global professional services firm providing integrated strategy, consulting, engineering and applied technologies in support of the energy transition, received an award from Climate Change Business Journal ® (CCBJ) for its role in a Department of Energy (DOE) multi-state clean hydrogen hub.
TRC received a Project Merit Award in the Low-Carbon Energy category for advancing the transition to a clean-hydrogen, low-carbon economy by supporting the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) consortium in the successful pursuit of $925 million in Department of Energy funding for a clean hydrogen hub with operations in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. ARCH2 was selected by DOE's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) to negotiate for award in October 2023.
Battelle Memorial Institute led ARCH2's application effort and will serve as the overall Program Manager and prime recipient of ARCH2 funding from OCED. TRC is part of Battelle's world-class Program Management Office team, including GTI Energy and Allegheny Science & Technology (AST).
TRC has been involved with ARCH2 since its inception, providing input to DOE's initial request for information, the ARCH2 application and subsequent interviews with DOE during the selection process. TRC will drive ARCH2 implementation by leading the safety, security and regulatory work within the ARCH2 Program Management Office. TRC is responsible for guiding project development partners in site safety, hydrogen safety, security, cybersecurity and permitting while also helping ARCH2 partners navigate the complex National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.
"We are honored to be recognized by CCBJ for our work in helping accelerate the clean energy transition in the U.S.," said Christopher Vincze, Chairman and CEO of TRC. "The ARCH2 project is advancing the use of hydrogen as a critical component to our national decarbonization strategy and supporting clean energy job creation in disadvantaged and underserved communities."
The Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) is a collaborative initiative between the United States Department of Energy (DOE), private industry, state and local governments, academic and technology institutions, non-profit organizations, and community groups working together to build a safe and sustainable clean hydrogen ecosystem in Appalachia. With a project portfolio that spans West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, ARCH2 will leverage the region's vast resources for diverse hydrogen production, storage, delivery, and end-use applications. ARCH2 Project Development Partners include Air Liquide, The Chemours Company, CNX Resources Corp., Enbridge Gas Ohio, Empire Diversified Energy, EQT Corporation, Fidelis New Energy, Hog Lick Aggregates, Hope Gas Inc., Independence Hydrogen Inc., KeyState Energy, Marathon Petroleum, Plug Power, and TC Energy.
