The Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES) Project, spearheaded by Chevron in Delta, Utah, is set to revolutionize energy storage by converting renewable resources like wind and solar to hydrogen for subsequent storage. Prerna Jain, Chevron's integration and growth manager for the project, praised the initiative, emphasizing its groundbreaking nature and the pivotal role it will play in showcasing hydrogen's scalability. The project's significance lies in hydrogen's potential to shape the U.S. energy landscape, with projections indicating that hydrogen could constitute 12% of the global energy mix by 2050. By responding to the growing demand for lower carbon intensity energy sources, Chevron's ACES Project aligns with U.S. climate objectives and aims to bolster the availability of environmentally sustainable energy options. The ACES Project, scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2025, will supply hydrogen to the Intermountain Power Agency, supporting its IPP Renewed Project focused on transitioning to lower carbon power generation. By leveraging salt caverns for hydrogen storage, the project facilitates dispatchable energy production, enabling a higher utilization of renewables in the energy mix. Chevron's participation in the ACES Project underscores its dedication to driving innovation in the energy sector and contributing to the realization of lower carbon energy solutions. Through this venture, Chevron aims to capitalize on its expertise in project execution and energy value chain development to advance the deployment of lower carbon hydrogen technologies in the energy industry.
