Gevo, the Colorado-based producer of liquid hydrocarbons and renewable chemicals, has finalized a Hydrogen Development Services Agreement with Zero6 Energy (formerly Juhl Energy) for the development of a 20 MW hydrogen production facility in Lake Preston, South Dakota, according to a news release.
Cummins will supply the electrolyzer technology. The facility, known as the Dakota Renewable Hydrogen Project, will be an integral part of Gevo’s Net-Zero 1 renewable hydrocarbon plant (NZ1) that is under development.
“In addition to the utilization of the proven Cummins electrolyzer technology to produce green hydrogen, a portion of our electricity needs will be supplied by the Kingsbury County Wind Fuel wind farm,” Clay Norrbom, President of Zero6 Energy, said in the release.
More than 80% of the DRH hydrogen production capacity will be directly piped to the Gevo NZ1 plant to be used in the hydrocarbon refining process. The DRH will be located on the NZ1 plant property under a long-term lease agreement from Gevo.
