Governor Gretchen Whitmer has launched the Michigan Geologic Hydrogen Exploration and Preparedness Initiative to tap into the state's underground hydrogen reserves, identified in a 2025 USGS study. The initiative aims to power heavy-duty vehicles and industrial plants while creating jobs and revenue, with detailed reports on pilot well locations and regulatory needs expected by early April. This effort seeks to stabilize hydrogen supply and prices, positioning Michigan as a potential model for similar projects across the nation.
