Hygreen Energy, the Chinese alkaline and PEM electrolyzer manufacturer, is hoping to supply a Texas hydrogen project with its electrolyzers, sources told ReSource.
The company is in negotiations to contract with Big Hill Materials, which was part of the Horizons Clean Hydrogen Hub (HCH2) application to the US Department of Energy.
The project is a salt dome site in Bay City, Texas, a source said. The hydrogen production site is planned, but unfinalized.
Ideally, Hygreen would like to set up a manufacturing operation to supply a large project like Big Hill, sources said. The company would need outside investment to do so.
Big Hill, which doesn’t appear to have a website, has kept a low profile about its planned projects. Earlier this year, Norway-based Hafnia said it had entered a JV with Big Hill to develop a sustainable hydrocarbon fuels plant to produce blue methanol and eventually SAF. Another report from last month notes that Big Hill has partnered with Avalon for CCS projects.
Hygreen has financial advisors in China, but not the US.
Hygreen declined to comment. Big Hill CEO Nirav Patel declined to comment.
