The Mountaineer GigaSystem will produce hydrogen from natural gas, renewable energy, and carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS).
The Monarch Cloud Campus which will use hydrogen produced using FidelisH2 technologies with the H2PowerCool technology to provide power and cooling for data centers
As one of two “high impact industrial business districts” in West Virginia based on state code, the project consist of four phases with each phase producing over 500 mtpd of net-zero carbon hydrogen at an approximate capital cost of $2bn per phase.
The first FidelisH2 phase of the Mountaineer GigaSystem is expected to commence operations in 2028.
“This net-zero carbon hydrogen will be used for a variety of purposes including carbon neutral hyperscale datacenters, greenhouses, transportation, and steel production,” the release states.
Fidelis New Energy reached a memorandum of understanding with JetBlue last year to provide the latter with at least 92 million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel from Fidelis’ Grön Fuels GigaSystem at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge in Louisiana.
