Trillium Piketon Project: Revolutionizing Clean Energy Production in Pike & Ross Counties
Key Ideas
  • Trillium H2 Power plans to develop a $1.8B project at the former Piketon atomic plant site, focusing on clean ammonia and silicon production, hydrogen utilization, and carbon sequestration.
  • The project aims to create 280 permanent jobs by the end of 2027 and employ 2,100 individuals during the 18-month construction phase, contributing to the local economy.
  • The technology utilized, including air separation and ammonia production, aims to revolutionize clean energy production and contribute to the decarbonization of the US economy.
  • Trillium Piketon is collaborating with organizations like SODI and PORTSFuture to redevelop a significant portion of land at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site, impacting multiple counties in Ohio.
Proponents of the Trillium Piketon project, led by Wiley Rhodes and Caitlin Holley, presented their plans to Ross County Commissioners for the first development at the former Piketon atomic plant site in Ohio. The project by Trillium H2 Power aims to utilize proven technologies such as air separation, ammonia production, and silicon production to create an economy of scale. They plan to produce clean ammonia and silicon metal, with a focus on utilizing ammonia as a carrier for hydrogen in a low-carbon economy. Additionally, the project includes plans for large-capacity carbon sequestration and the conversion of locomotives to hydrogen fuel. As the project progresses, Trillium Piketon aims to create job opportunities for workers from the A-Plant demolition process, contributing to the local economy and fostering skilled engineering and manufacturing jobs. The collaboration with SODI and PORTSFuture indicates a larger initiative to redevelop acres of land for clean energy production in Ohio. With a website highlighting their goal of decarbonizing the US economy, Trillium Piketon plans for a construction phase employing 2,100 individuals and aims to be operational by the end of 2027, creating 280 permanent jobs. The project showcases a comprehensive integration of various technologies to produce clean energy and store CO2 geologically. To engage with the community and stakeholders, the project plans to launch a social media site and participate in upcoming events. The Trillium Piketon project represents a significant step towards clean energy production, economic development, and job creation in the region.
