Verdagy Selects Black & Veatch for 60 MW Hydrogen Plant in Texas
Key Ideas
  • Verdagy has chosen Black & Veatch for a Front-End Engineering Design study for their 60 MW hydrogen plant in Texas, with a completion target of May 2025.
  • The plant, near the Gulf Coast, will produce 9,000 tons of clean hydrogen annually, contributing over $150 million in energy investments to Texas and creating business and job opportunities.
  • Black & Veatch's expertise in engineering and construction of hydrogen projects, combined with Verdagy's manufacturing standards, aims to ensure grid resilience and pave the way for future green energy projects in the state.
  • This project signifies a significant step towards increasing U.S. energy exports and fostering the development of a gigawatt of upcoming projects within Texas, emphasizing the positive impact of green energy initiatives.
Verdagy, a U.S.-based company, has partnered with the EPC company Black & Veatch to conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a planned 60 MW hydrogen plant in Texas. The FEED contract, set to be completed by May 2025, will precede a Financial Investment Decision (FID) in July of the same year, enabling the production of 9,000 tons of clean hydrogen annually near the Gulf Coast. The study will focus on infrastructure development and execution, including hydrogen storage, processing, and liquefaction processes. This will lay the groundwork for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts bidding and serve as the design foundation for the project. Black & Veatch's experience in hydrogen electrolysis projects across North America positions them well for this study. The project is expected to bring over $150 million in investment to Texas, along with creating business opportunities and jobs, supporting U.S. energy exports, and setting the stage for future green energy projects in the state. Verdagy's innovative use of their eDynamic® electrolyzers, known for their operational flexibility, will contribute to grid resilience once the plant is connected to the ERCOT grid. Additionally, the company operates another hydrogen plant in Moss Landing, California, showcasing its commitment to large-scale alkaline electrolysis systems. With a positive outlook on the project's impact on the energy sector and job market, Verdagy's initiative signifies a promising step towards sustainable energy development in Texas.
