The University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources (SER) received a $500,000 commitment from energy infrastructure leader Williams to help fund the school’s Hydrogen Energy Research Center (H2ERC).
The gift will be spread over five years to support the new center dedicated to applied hydrogen research, collaboration with Wyoming stakeholders and the growth of a hydrogen industry in Wyoming.
SER Executive Director Holly Krutka:

Chad Zamarin, senior vice president of corporate strategic development at Williams:
Williams is proud to play a leading role in this important step toward the research and development of a clean hydrogen economy in Wyoming and beyond
“As a longtime owner and operator of energy infrastructure in Wyoming, Williams is well positioned to leverage our existing assets for the blending, storage and transportation of green hydrogen to local and regional markets, including the Pacific Northwest via our Northwest Pipeline.”
A member of the Clean Hydrogen Future Coalition, Williams is leading the way for clean hydrogen to exist in a low-carbon economy and is heavily invested in hydrogen development in Wyoming. In fall 2021, Williams was a Wyoming Energy Authority grant recipient as part of the Wyoming Hydrogen Pilot Project. The company is conducting a feasibility study to evaluate water access, compatibility and asset integrity in support of green hydrogen production. The study is being conducted in partnership with SER. Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central.
