The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub will span Washington, Oregon, and Montana, and plans to leverage the region’s abundant renewable resources to produce clean hydrogen exclusively via electrolysis. The Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub’s vast use of electrolyzers will play a key role in driving down electrolyzer costs, making the technology more accessible to other producers, and… Continue reading Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub – PNWH2 Hub (selected for DOE funding)
The project involves a nanogrid consisting of a floating photovoltaic solar array, battery storage, vehicle-to-grid and conventional EV charging stations, and a hydrogen system. The hydrogen setup includes an electrolyzer, storage tanks and two fuel cells. OUC is part of a research team involved in a U.S. Department of Energy-supported $9m project that’s studying the… Continue reading Orlando Utilities Commission | Hydrogen Nanogrid Pilot
A waste-to-hydrogen commercial plant in California. The plant will use unsorted, non-recyclable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to produce negative-carbon hydrogen. The Larsen and Lam Climate Initiative contributed $35m to the project.
The project involves the expansion of a proprietary process to produce approximately 275,000 metric tons per year of carbon-free anhydrous ammonia in the United States. Monolith Materials in 2021 commissioned Olive Creek 1 (OC1), its first commercial-scale carbon-free production facility which is designed to produce approximately 14,000 metric tons of carbon black per year. With… Continue reading Monolith | Olive Creek OC1
A 1.1 million ton per annum blue ammonia project in Beaumont, Texas, based on KBR technology. The project achieved FID in Q1 2022, and it targets production for Q1 2025. The project has been awarded to Maire Tecnimont on an Engineering & Procurement basis. Capital expenditure is expected to be within OCI’s guidance of up… Continue reading OCI | Blue Ammonia Beaumont
The complete plan envisions production, storage, transportation and consumption of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a versatile industrial feedstock and fuel that the hydrogen hub will supply to a wide array ofindustries such as agriculture, data centers, hospitals, ports, power plants and domestic fertilizer producers. Anchor sites in Moses Lake, Washington and Hermiston, Oregon, will use power… Continue reading Obsidian Renewables PNW Hydrogen Hub (Encouraged)
Nutrien suspended the project in August 2023, due to higher expected capital costs of between 10 – 15% along with uncertain end-market demand. The project was initially supposed to reach a final investment decision in 2023, with construction beginning in 2024 and full production expected in 2027. The facility had a $2 billion capex and… Continue reading Nutrien | Geismar Clean Ammonia Facility
NW Natural and Modern Hydrogen collaborate on a project that produces clean hydrogen while capturing solid carbon. The project, which was unveiled in May 2024, is under a three-year pilot and it is installed at NW Natural’s Central Resource Center in southeast Portland Modern Hydrogen designed the equipment, which uses methane pyrolysis. Solid carbon captured… Continue reading NW Natural | Portland Central Resource Center Clean Hydrogen Pilot
In 2020, a team of Pacific Northwest public and private organizations signed an MoU to explore the development of a large renewable hydrogen production facility in Eugene, Oregon. The partners included the Eugene Water & Electric Board, NW Natural and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. The hydrogen production facility would have demonstrated how renewable and low-carbon… Continue reading Northwest Natural | Eugene Hydrogen Project
The coalition of six states and now more than 60 clean hydrogen ecosystem partners are laying the groundwork for a proposal for the United States Department of Energy funding opportunity anticipated to be announced in September or October with up to $8 billion in total funding available. Since the initial announcement in March, 2022, New… Continue reading Northeast US Clean Hydrogen Hub
