Hitachi Energy Joins DOE 'H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond' Initiative
Key Ideas
  • Hitachi Energy collaborates with DOE and other industry stakeholders in the 'H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond' initiative to explore hydrogen production from renewable sources.
  • The project includes hydrogen production options like a vehicle refueling station and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, showcasing a collection of renewable hydrogen technologies at a single site.
  • Hitachi Energy's involvement signifies a commitment to advancing the role of hydrogen in decarbonizing industries and supporting clean energy initiatives globally.
  • The project aims to gather critical data on power quality, system optimization, and large-scale hydrogen plant feasibility for potential expansion in the Port of Houston and Gulf Coast region.
Hitachi Energy has partnered with the US Department of Energy, GTI Energy, Frontier Energy, The University of Texas Austin, and other industry stakeholders to join the 'H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond' initiative. This project, situated at the University of Texas JJ Pickle Research Center in Austin, Texas, focuses on investigating the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen generation from renewable resources. The project involves multiple hydrogen production options, including a vehicle refueling station and a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, making it one of the largest collections of renewable hydrogen technologies at a single site. Hitachi Energy's participation demonstrates a commitment to advancing hydrogen's role in decarbonizing industries and promoting sustainability on a global scale. Researchers and experts from Hitachi Energy will contribute to the operation of demonstration equipment, monitoring equipment installation, and system optimization to gather insights for future large-scale hydrogen plants. The project also includes feasibility studies for scaling up hydrogen production in the Port of Houston and Gulf Coast region, exploring opportunities to leverage pre-existing hydrogen pipelines and industrial infrastructure for environmental and economic benefits.
