The Michigan Geological Hydrogen (MGH2) is a bold collaboration between industry leaders, academic institutions, government agencies, and financial partners focused on unlocking Michigan's geological hydrogen potential.
MGH2 is pioneering the exploration and commercialization of geological hydrogen reserves beneath Michigan. Recent USGS research indicates these global reserves could meet world energy needs for approximately two centuries.
For Michigan, this represents the opportunity to reclaim its position as a global innovation leader. This is about more than energy—it's about economic transformation, environmental stewardship, and securing Michigan's place at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.
This is your chance to shape Michigan's transformation into a global hydrogen leader and build the infrastructure, technology, and partnerships that will define energy's future for generations to come.
Phase 1- Focus on exploration activities, site selection, and drilling pilot wells to validate the geological hydrogen opportunity.
Phase 2 - Demonstration projects that integrate purification systems and establish offtake agreements to prove commercial viability
Phase 3 - Shift to commercial-scale extraction operations coupled with deliberate market expansion to build sustainable demand
Phase 4 - Regional and global scaling of hydrogen field development to establish Michigan as a major player in the geological hydrogen industry.
