West Virginia's ARCH2 Project: Leading the Way in Clean Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
- West Virginia's ARCH2 project, supported by a $925 million prize, aims to produce 'blue' hydrogen using Marcellus/Utica natural gas.
- The project has received an initial $30 million to kickstart its activities, with more funding to follow.
- The Appalachian Hydrogen & Carbon Capture Conference VI in Pittsburgh on November 7 will shed light on developments in the hydrogen and carbon capture space.
- The conference provides a platform for industry players to learn more about the cutting-edge advancements in clean energy production.
Last year, the Biden administration announced the winners of the Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games contest, one of which was the West Virginia-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2). This project, set to produce 'blue' hydrogen, utilizes Marcellus/Utica natural gas as its feedstock and secured a $925 million prize. Recently, the project received its first $30 million in funding to commence its operations. To delve deeper into the developments in clean hydrogen production and carbon capture, interested individuals can attend the Appalachian Hydrogen & Carbon Capture Conference VI on November 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn Southpointe/Pittsburgh. The conference promises to be a hub of information exchange and a networking opportunity for stakeholders interested in advancing clean energy practices in the region.
