Invenergy has successfully launched its first clean hydrogen project, the Sauk Valley Hydrogen facility in Rock Falls, Illinois. This 5-acre site has become operational, generating up to 40 metric tons of clean hydrogen per year, with a storage capacity of 400 kilograms. The facility leverages power from Invenergy's solar plant and Ohmium International's electrolyzer technology, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy production. Key figures at Invenergy expressed pride in pioneering this new energy asset, highlighting the potential of clean hydrogen across various industries. Collaboration with Ohmium International has been crucial in bringing cutting-edge PEM electrolyzer technology to fruition, contributing to a sustainable energy future. Initially, the hydrogen produced at Sauk Valley is being used as a turbine generator cooling agent at the nearby Nelson Energy Center, showcasing local utilization. Moreover, the facility's loading capacity allows for offsite shipping, with the first order being delivered to an Aether Fuels project. This demonstrates the flexibility and market capabilities of the clean hydrogen produced. The Vice President of Hydrogen at Invenergy emphasized the importance of producing clean hydrogen for 'hard-to-abate' sectors, supporting large consumers like liquid fuels and chemicals plants. This strategic supply chain approach aligns with Invenergy's commitment to offering sustainable energy solutions at scale. The Sauk Valley Hydrogen facility represents a significant addition to Invenergy's portfolio in Illinois, complementing its existing wind, solar, natural gas, and advanced energy storage projects. The company's continued investments in the state underscore a dedication to bolstering Illinois' clean energy economy and promoting environmental sustainability.
