Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and President Joe Biden's on Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, left, and former Rep. Bob Brady second from left, look on. The Department of Energy named Philadelphia as a location for one of seven hydrogen energy hubs.announced by President Joe Biden last week could make the Philly region “the center of the clean energy universe” and create 20,000 union jobs in coming years.
A portion of those workers will be trained through unions in a partnership with local colleges and universities, including Cheyney, the oldest historically Black university in the nation, located in the Philadelphia suburbs.Biden made the announcement last Friday while in Philadelphia, saying the U.S. Department of Energy would spend $7 billion to launch seven regional clean hydrogen hubs across the country.
The process uses electrolysis, an electric current that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolyzer facilities would have to be built to achieve that. Cheyney University President Aaron A. Walton said the school will be part of an “emerging public-private partnership” to design a regional safety training lab.
As of now, it is unclear where all the renewable energy would come from to create the electricity needed for the electrolyzers. The environmental advocacy nonprofit says that, as of now, most hydrogen produced uses natural gas, which produces greenhouse gases — though the goal would be capture and store those.
