Description
The project involves the development of Sauk Valley Hydrogen project in Illinois by Invenergy and Ohmium International.
The project, built over five acres of land, will generate green hydrogen by utilizing power from Invenergy’s co-located solar plant and Ohmium International low-carbon electrolyzer technology.
The Sauk Valley Hydrogen Project is expected to generate up to 52 tons of hydrogen annually.
The project will have capacity to store up to 400 kilograms (kg) of hydrogen on site and can provide hydrogen to Invenergy’s 584-megawatt Nelson Energy Center. Sauk Valley’s loading capability will enable any excess hydrogen generated at the facility to be shipped and used offsite.
The project is set to break ground in the coming months and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2022.
