PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 17, 2023 – Last week, Governor Shapiro joined President Biden at the Tioga Marine Terminal in Philadelphia to announce the $750 million federal investment to build the renewable MACH2 in Philadelphia and the surrounding region, which will create over 20,000 jobs – with a particular focus on union jobs. The Biden Administration also selected the ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub based in West Virginia, which will create 21,000 jobs for the Appalachian region, including in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

“Thanks to the work of my Administration and our partners in labor, industry, higher education, and government, Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation to have secured two clean hydrogen hubs projects. The eyes of the nation have been on Pennsylvania – and we have proven time and again that we can do big things here,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “This investment is a game changer for our Commonwealth and for the energy economy – and in southeastern Pennsylvania, that means we’ll create 20,800 good-paying union jobs in plumbing, pipefitting, electrical work, engineering, and so much more. With this new hydrogen hub, we have the chance to prove ourselves again as the center of the clean energy universe – and with Philly labor at the helm here, I know that we are going to make big waves in the energy sector for decades to come.”
