Black & Veatch wins United States green hydrogen job

• EPC contract for the 220MW Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Utah

Black & Veatch has actually been chosen by a joint venture of Mitsubishi Power Americas and Magnum Development to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the 220MW Advanced Clean Energy Storage project in Delta, Utah.

The hub will initially be developed to convert renewable resource daily to 100 tonnes of green hydrogen that will certainly be saved in 2 salt caverns.

Black & Veatch's inbound chair and president Mario Azar, said that "becoming part of this ingenious team progressing clean hydrogen as a fuel and also feedstock is assisting pave the way for a lower-carbon energy future that takes the energy change farther, quicker".

He included: "Black & Veatch is committed to maintaining our customers and companions ahead of the contour when it concerns taking care of the energy change and also fulfilling their decarbonisation goals.

" The Advanced Clean Energy Storage hydrogen hub is a transformative occasion in the development of green hydrogen, long-duration energy storage and also decarbonization at scale."

Mitsubishi Power will provide the hydrogen devices assimilation, including the 220MW of electrolyzers, gas separators, rectifiers, medium-voltage transformers as well as distributed control system.

The JV's head of state of advanced clean energy storage and principal running officer Michael Ducker stated: "Along with our cutting-edge companions, Mitsubishi Power and Magnum Development are creating the globe's initial and biggest commercial green hydrogen hub.

" We are committed to advancing the development of green hydrogen, long period of time energy storage, and also decarbonization at scale as well as are enjoyed be working with Black & Veatch on developing the critical framework required to accomplish our vision towards a 100% carbon-free future."

Construction started this springtime, the hydrogen storage hub will adjoin the Intermountain Power Agency's IPP Renewed Project and also assistance that 840MW, hydrogen-capable gas turbine consolidated cycle power plant incomplete.

That plant initially will work on a blend of 30% green hydrogen and also 70% natural gas beginning in 2025.

The plant incrementally will expand to making use of 100% hydrogen by 2045.
