First-of-its-kind hydrogen ‘proto-hub’ backed by the DOE opens at University of Texas at Austin

While Texas might be best known for the fuel that’s under the ground, an exciting new hydrogen project at one Austin school explores the rich possibilities of several other natural resources the state has to offer. The Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin has opened a cutting edge hydrogen power ‘proto-hub’ that will put clean power to the test and explore the possibilities of scaling up and modernizing the Texas energy industry.

Several years in the making, this facility is part of the larger “Demonstration and Framework for H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond” project. H2@Scale is supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) and is an incubator for clean energy projects not only in the state of Texas, but also across the nation.

Along with partners Frontier Energy and GTI Energy, more than 20 industry stakeholders and sponsors have had a hand in H2@Scale. The opening of the University of Texas at Austin facility is the result of contributions from across the state, and the benefits will hopefully one day touch every corner of Texas.
