5. PARTNERSHIPS<br />

Minnesota Renewable Hydrogen Initiative<br />

www.moea.state.mn.us/p2/initiative.cfm<br />

Minnesota Renewable Hydrogen Initiative (MRHI), formed in 2003, is a public-private<br />

partnership dedicated to establishing new innovative means of generating hydrogen<br />

using renewable energy technology.<br />

MRHI has outlined a roadmap (www.moea.state.mn.us/publications/roadmapscreen.pdf)<br />

to identify and implement the most strategic opportunities that will best<br />

leverage resources to move the state to hydrogen as an increasing source of energy for<br />

its electrical power, heating, and transportation needs. In addition, this roadmap will<br />

structure and pursue the partnerships needed between industry, government, and<br />

institutions to functionally achieve the technological, policy, and product development<br />

steps necessary to achieve the initiative's goal and vision.<br />

The Minnesota Renewable Hydrogen Initiative Forum meets quarterly, and is open to all<br />

parties interested in sharing information and opportunities for Minnesota to benefit from<br />

a hydrogen economy.<br />
