Description
This interstate coalition between Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah contracts with Atkins Nuclear Solutions and includes regional utilities. The group is proposing to build eight major hydrogen projects that will replace coal-fired power plants and supply a mix of hydrogen and natural gas to local communities and for transportation. The projects would generate 1,000 MT/day by year 7 with an increase to about 1,900 MT/day by year 12.
