Advancing Clean Energy: Mitsubishi Power's Partnership with PNW Hydrogen Association
Key Ideas
  • Mitsubishi Power Americas collaborates with PNW Hydrogen Association to develop the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, focusing on clean energy solutions for challenging sectors like heavy-duty transport and power generation.
  • The agreement formalizes a two-year collaboration, enabling access to federal funding to advance clean hydrogen infrastructure and technologies, aligning with DOE's clean energy goals and forming a basis for a national clean hydrogen network.
  • The PNWH2 Hub spans multiple states, leveraging innovative technology and renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions in sectors like transportation, port operations, and power generation, contributing to the growth of a clean energy economy in the U.S.
  • The Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to create a network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and infrastructure to drive economic growth, job creation, and energy security in communities nationwide.
Mitsubishi Power Americas, operating through its subsidiary MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure, has entered into a partnership with the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) to advance clean energy initiatives in the United States. The collaboration focuses on the development of the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2 Hub), which aims to provide hydrogen solutions for challenging sectors such as heavy-duty transport, fertilizer production, and dispatchable peak power generation. This project aligns with the nation's clean energy goals, promoting community benefits through clean energy investments, job creation, and enhanced energy security. The PNWH2 Hub, part of the U.S. Department of Energy's H2Hubs Program, is progressing through its first phase and recently formalized a subrecipient agreement between PNWH2 and MHI H2I's Boardman Hydrogen Hub project. This agreement, after nearly two years of collaboration, allows access to federal funding to further the development of clean hydrogen infrastructure in the region. The initiative, spanning states like Washington, Oregon, and Montana, will leverage innovative technology and renewable energy sources to expand the use of clean hydrogen in various sectors. Notable projects under the PNWH2 Hub include producing hydrogen for clean electricity generation and supplying hydrogen for transportation. The establishment of the hydrogen pipeline will aid in energy storage and delivery to different nodes within the network. With a positive outlook on the project, stakeholders emphasize the importance of developing robust commercial frameworks for long-term services and support in the clean energy sector. The Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program, supported by federal funding, is set to accelerate the deployment of clean hydrogen technologies nationwide, fostering economic growth, job creation, and improved energy security for communities. This initiative will pave the way for a national network of clean hydrogen producers and consumers, driving the development of diverse clean energy pathways across various sectors of the economy.
