CHARLESTON, W.Va., October 13, 2023 – In response to today’s announcement of a hydrogen hub in West Virginia, Charlie Burd, executive director of the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia (GO-WV) issued the following statement: 

“Securing a hydrogen hub in West Virginia is a clear win for our economy, workforce and environment and we appreciate the leadership from Senators Manchin and Capito who continue to be strong advocates of leveraging West Virginia’s energy resources for the shared benefit of all.

Through this hub, we’re showing how natural gas can advance clean hydrogen in America, which’ll drive down emissions, support good-paying, local jobs, and advance our economy. Like all West Virginians, we’re excited to get the hub underway.”
