The winners of the latest program round of the H2 Twin Cities initiative are:
- h2 Regional Energy Hub | Houston TX + Nuevo Leon MX: The U.S. city of Houston, Texas, will serve as a municipal mentor to the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon in this strategic partnership to strengthen the hydrogen value chain in both regions. Monterrey, one of Mexico's key centers of industry and manufacturing, is the capital of Nuevo Leon; the city and its suburbs comprise about 90% of the state's population. Collaborative activities will focus on feasibility assessments, regulatory challenges, supply chain integration and investment attraction, infrastructure requirements, training and specialization, public awareness, and identification of synergies to elevate trade and export opportunities.
- Hy HouB: Houston + Barrancabermeja Partnership for Hydrogen Awareness and Adoption: The Hy HouB partnership will facilitate the transfer of knowledge and key learnings between the cities of Houston, Texas, and Barrancabermeja, Colombia, to help achieve strategic goals for the equitable and inclusive adoption of clean hydrogen. These communities have a common interest in accelerating the use of hydrogen fuel for the transport of heavy goods and materials by a combination of modes, most notably marine and port applications. The knowledge transfer program will consist of short courses, workshops and webinars, visits, and group and individual mentoring opportunities for leaders.
