60GW green hydrogen hub prepared for Texas

• United States developer Green Hydrogen International (GHI) plans to produce a green hydrogen hub in Texas that will be powered by 60GW of solar as well as wind energy and also create over 2.5 billion kgs of green hydrogen each year.

Referred To As Hydrogen City, the project will be built in different phases with the very first one set to be functional in 2026 with 2GW of production and also two storage caverns. GHI claimed there was the opportunity to additional boost that number to over 50 caves giving up to 6TWh of energy storage space.

The project will certainly lie near a hydrogen storage facility in the Piedras Pintas Salt Dome in Duval County with pipelines delivering the hydrogen to Corpus Christi as well as Brownsville. The transport and circulation of green hydrogen is a considerable obstacle, with nearby storage facilities and offtakers seen as a significant positive for project bankability.

Brian Maxwell, creator and also CEO of GHI, stated: "Hydrogen City is a massive, world class undertaking that will certainly put Texas on the map as a leading green hydrogen producer."

The business stated the size of the hub would certainly be big sufficient to cater to different kinds of consumers. The green hydrogen could be used to create green ammonia for export or for fertilizers, as well as gas for aviation, rockets or to power plants.

Energy Estate, an Australian renewable developer will aid GHI in the advancement of Hydrogen City.

"Hydrogen City is a project perfectly placed near inexpensive renewable energies, plenty of readily available land, salt domes, and distance to the large energy port of Corpus Christi," stated Andy Steinhubl, a GHI board participant.

Last month, renewables programmer Apex Clean Energy said gigawatts of solar and wind plants could be utilized to power a green hydrogen hub at the Port of Corpus Christi, in Texas.
