Hitachi Energy has partnered with the US Department of Energy's 'H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond' initiative alongside GTI Energy, Frontier Energy, and other industry partners. The project, based in Austin, Texas, focuses on investigating the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen generation from renewable resources. Hitachi Energy, a global leader in power grids, is contributing its expertise in integrating renewable energy sources and managing energy grids for the project. The initiative at the University of Texas JJ Pickle Research Center involves various hydrogen production options, emphasizing the importance of clean hydrogen in decarbonizing challenging sectors like metals, fertilizers, and oil and gas. Hitachi Energy's participation covers the entire hydrogen value chain, from early-stage project design to system optimization, with a focus on gathering data for future large-scale hydrogen plants. Feasibility studies are planned to scale up hydrogen production in the Port of Houston and Gulf Coast region, exploring the use of existing infrastructure and industrial networks for deploying hydrogen technologies.
