South Carolina Hydrogen Coalition (SCH2)
www.sch2.org
The South Carolina Hydrogen Coalition (SCH2) was established in 2002 as a non-profit
corporation to bring together organizations interested in or currently working with fuel cell
and hydrogen technology. Since that time the Coalition has fostered the promotion of
hydrogen and fuel cells, brought together manufacturers, universities, federal
laboratories and companies, and worked with elected officials in the accomplishment of
its mission. The Hydrogen Coalition hydrogen and fuel cell plans include programs in
education, policy development, enhancing in-state capabilities and fostering new and
existing in-state economic development.
South Carolina’s Department of Commerce is a member of the Hydrogen Coalition and
the two entities work hand-in-hand in promoting the state’s capabilities and recruiting
new and developing research and development, industrial and service activity.

South Carolina Next Energy Initiative
http://nextenergy.engenuitysc.com/Default.aspx
The South Carolina Next Energy Initiative is a working group made up of business,
higher education and political leaders from across the state that have come together to
chart a course for the future. Sponsors include the University of South Carolina,
Clemson University, City of Columbia, EngenuitySC and the Midlands Business
Leadership Group. The goal of the initiative is to prepare South Carolina to take
advantage of the economic opportunity that exists if we can become a center for
hydrogen commercialization or other forms of alternative energy.
