The Alaska Hydrogen Hub anticipates initially producing more than 600 tons per day, utilizing natural gas feedstock from the Alaska LNG Project and sequestering the associated carbon, eventually growing to 1,600 tons of hydrogen per day in hub capacity. The Alaska LNG Project demonstrated through a comprehensive lifecycle analysis that it is the lowest carbon intensity LNG project in the U.S. The Alaska Hydrogen Hub will support hydrogen ecosystem growth over time from Alaska’s abundant renewable energy sources, including tidal, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy.

Organizations supporting the AGDC-led Alaska Hydrogen Hub include Agrium U.S., Salamatof Native Association, Alaska CCUS Consortium (including ASRC Energy Services, Santos, and Storegga), and the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Alaska Center for Energy and Power.

The Alaska Hydrogen Hub concept anticipates using $850 million in DOE funding along with $3.75 billion in private-sector funds, backed by offtake agreements from hydrogen customers in the U.S. and Asia.
