backKing & Spalding advised Hy Stor Energy LP (Hy Stor) on its submission of a Concept Paper to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to begin the process to have Hy Stor’s proposed Mississippi Clean Hydrogen Hub (MCHH) designated as a “Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub”. The Concept Paper is the first step in a multi-year process that would allow Hy Stor and the MCHH to receive over a billion dollars in federal funds under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Hy Stor, together with its strategic partner Connor, Clark & Lunn Infrastructure, is developing the MCHH to be a first-of-its-kind renewable hydrogen hub. The MCHH will be as much as ten times larger than any other green hydrogen project under consideration in the United States and would be one of the largest in the world. More information about the MCHH can be found in the following news articles:
