HydrogenPro have celebrated having manufactured the last of the 40 electrolyzers ordered for the Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub in Delta, Utah.
TIANJIN, DECEMBER 6, 2023: “Today marks a special milestone in HydrogenPro’s history and we are proud to complete the manufacturing phase of the fleet for one of the largest clean hydrogen hubs globally,” says Jan-Henrik Kuhlefelt, CEO of HydrogenPro Co. Ltd.in Tianjin.
The Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub (ACES Delta) is being jointly developed by Chevron New Energies Company and Mitsubishi Power. It is an industry and utility-scale energy project that will produce, store, and deliver green hydrogen. The first project, designed to convert and store up to 100 metric tons per day of clean hydrogen. Which will be stored in two huge salt caverns, each with a capacity of 150 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy for dispatch back to the grid when it is needed.
ACES Delta intends to use excess renewable energy to power the large-scale electrolyzers that will produce lower carbon intensity hydrogen and oxygen. Offtake for the first two caverns has been secured by Intermountain Power Agency for their IPP Renewed project in central Utah. The 840-megawatt natural gas power plant at IPP Renewed plans to operate on fuel with up to 30 percent lower carbon intensity hydrogen in 2025 and 100 percent by 2045.
The project journey began in February 2022 when HydrogenPro was awarded one of the largest electrolyzer systems ever contracted.
“This was a major breakthrough for HydrogenPro, because it meant that our technology could provide affordable, reliable and clean hydrogen to the customer for large-scale projects and we were able to successfully enter the US market,” says Richard Espeseth, founder of HydrogenPro.
“We owe the great success of this project to date to the tireless efforts of our employees and are confident that this groundbreaking project will support the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy within the US,” adds Jarle Dragvik, CEO in HydrogenPro.
