Investment in Nafion™ membranes and dispersions will enable clean energy generation and storage in applications ranging from large-scale power systems to the automobiles of the future.

Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Representative David McKinley (R-WV) and Governor Jim Justice (R-WV) announced their support for the new Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub, comprised of over 40 entities.

Earlier this year, CFM International, a 50-50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines, joined Airbus to announce plans to flight test a hydrogen combustion engine. Learn more in this video with Mohamed Ali, GE Aerospace’s vice president of engineering, who explains the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen-fueled propulsion.

• Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT) to provide technology and engineering support for at least 10 Raven SR liquid fuels production projects.
• Collaboration to pursue higher quality, higher volume output of Fischer-Tropsch fuels, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), from landfill gas, biogas, other organic waste feedstocks.
• Raven SR to globally license EFT’s Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and Maxx Jet™/ Maxx Diesel™ upgrading technology.

NEW YORK & AUSTIN, Texas — Ridgewood, NJ based Dastur International, Inc., along with affiliate company Dastur Energy Inc., and Air Liquide have been awarded an important US Department of Energy (US DOE) funded FEED study for the design and engineering of an industrial scale carbon capture plant at Air Liquide’s Steam Methane Reformer (SMR) on the US Gulf Coast. The project aims to capture 0.9 mtpa of CO2 with a net carbon capture efficiency of at least 95%, enabling the production of clean or blue hydrogen. The Funding Opportunity is entitled “fossil energy based production, storage, transport and utilization of hydrogen approaching net zero”. The FEED will be completed over a period of 18 months and the value of the award is approximately USD $7.5 million.

• Hub Brings Together Producers, End-Users, World-Class Technology Experts, and Necessary Infrastructure to Advance the Production, Use, and Delivery of Hydrogen in Appalachia.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. — The State of West Virginia, EQT Corporation, the nation’s largest natural gas producer, Battelle and GTI Energy, both with deep expertise executing clean energy programs for the federal government, and Allegheny Science & Technology (AST), a leading West Virginia energy technology consulting firm, have collaborated to establish a Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub in the Appalachian region, the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2).

In the quest to reduce carbon emissions, commercial industries moving goods or people in bulk have a heavier load to carry in more ways than one. It’s more difficult to reduce CO2 emissions from the heavy-duty transportation, aviation and maritime industries than other sectors. Chevron just provided financial backing to Zero Emissions Industries (ZEI) targeting a hard-to-abate sector: the maritime industry.

• The Nine Mile Point hydrogen production project will demonstrate the value of combining the most abundant element in the universe with nuclear energy to address the climate crisis.

OSWEGO, N.Y. — Leaders from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) joined Constellation leaders and employees at Nine Mile Point today to celebrate progress on the nation’s first nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility that will begin production by the end of the year.
