BayoTech Inc. has completed its first hydrogen hub in Wentzville, Missouri, announcing the availability of sustainable hydrogen fuel from its recently completed hub in Wentzville, Missouri.
The BayoGaaS™ Hydrogen Hub generates 350 tons of hydrogen annually to serve a wide range of customers operating zero-emission fuel cell equipment and hydrogen-intensive industrial processes. BayoTech’s fleet of high-pressure gas transport trailers, designed for enhanced gas utilization, ensure reliable and efficient delivery of hydrogen to customers across the United States.
“This landmark achievement represents a significant step forward in our company’s mission to establish a network of localized hydrogen production hubs throughout the United States. BayoTech takes immense pride in its role as a pioneering force to make hydrogen supply more localized, accessible and reliable for our customers,” said BayoTech CEO Mo Vargas. “These hubs will not just produce hydrogen; they will produce opportunities, jobs, local investment, and a cleaner local community for generations to come.”
The BayoGaaS™ Hydrogen Hub generates the low-carbon fuel necessary for curbing local emissions and fostering economic development. During the ten-month construction phase, more than twenty local companies supplied materials and services, with a workforce contributing over 42,000 labor hours. Now complete, the facility is expected to create up to ten permanent local jobs and generate substantial state tax revenue.
“BayoTech’s commitment to hydrogen aligns seamlessly with our mission at Nikola, propelling the heavy-duty trucking sector towards a cleaner future,” stated Ryan Clayton, Nikola’s Global Head of Sales. “This partnership, in addition to BayoTech’s plan to purchase up to 50 Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, signals the first of many steps in establishing a dependable hydrogen infrastructure, accelerating the transition to a more sustainable transportation landscape.”
