Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Chevron to Revolutionize Green Hydrogen Production in Utah
Key Ideas
  • Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Chevron's joint venture, ACES Delta, plans to begin commercial green hydrogen production in Utah by mid-2025.
  • The project aims to produce 100 tonnes of hydrogen daily using surplus solar and wind power, stored in salt dome caverns, with potential to power 28,000 households annually.
  • Mitsubishi Heavy's involvement in developing gas turbines and electrolyzer apparatus showcases its commitment to expanding hydrogen power and sustainable energy solutions.
  • The Biden administration's $500 million loan guarantee for the project underscores the importance of the United States in the global hydrogen industry and sustainable power generation.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Chevron have announced a groundbreaking initiative to venture into commercial green hydrogen production in Utah by mid-2025. The joint venture, ACES Delta, is set to produce 100 tonnes of hydrogen daily, marking a significant leap towards sustainable power generation. This project will see the utilization of surplus solar and wind power, with support from GIC, a Singapore sovereign wealth fund, and a significant Canadian pension fund, among others. The hydrogen will be stored in salt dome caverns, providing storage for 300 gigawatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to powering 28,000 households annually. This innovative approach aims to contribute to the energy transition, with plans to shift entirely to hydrogen by 2045. Mitsubishi Heavy's involvement in developing key equipment like gas turbines and electrolyzer apparatus demonstrates its commitment to expanding hydrogen power and sustainable energy solutions. The Biden administration's $500 million loan guarantee for the Utah project further emphasizes the United States' role in the global hydrogen industry. If successful, this endeavor will establish the world's largest renewable hydrogen storage site and the first large-scale green hydrogen production, storage, and power generation initiative. The project signifies a positive step towards a greener and more sustainable future, emphasizing the importance of collaborative partnerships and innovative technological advancements in the energy sector.
