The Chevron Questa molybdenum mine in Questa, New Mexico, which closed in 2014 following environmental damage, is undergoing a transformation towards green hydrogen production. Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC), serving the area, has set ambitious renewable energy goals and aims to enhance its energy storage capabilities. By incorporating green hydrogen production at the site, KCEC plans to significantly increase storage capacity, providing up to 16 hours of storage and supporting its renewable energy profile. The project received funding from the US Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy to make this green hydrogen initiative a reality. The use of green hydrogen as a storage medium offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional sources, with the technology evolving rapidly. By utilizing electrolysis systems powered by renewable energy, the initiative at the former mine site showcases a novel approach to green hydrogen production. This project is unique as it diverts wastewater from a Superfund site to produce green hydrogen, ensuring a sustainable water supply for the electrolysis process. The initiative not only focuses on environmental sustainability but also aims to revitalize the local economy. By transitioning the community from its mining legacy to a hub for green energy, the project envisions economic growth and job creation. The partnership between KCEC, local officials, and various stakeholders highlights the potential for combining clean energy projects with economic development initiatives. The ultimate goal is to redefine Questa as a green energy community, setting an example for other regions to follow in sustainable energy practices.
