MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure Formalizes Agreement with Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association | |
|
On December 18, Mitsubishi Power Americas, through its subsidiary MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure (MHI H2I), announced the recent signing of a subrecipient agreement between the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) and MHI H2I’s Boardman Hydrogen Hub project.
The PNWH2 Hub, comprised of eight groups of projects, also known as nodes, across Washington, Oregon and Montana, will leverage the region’s innovative technology and renewable energy to expand the use of clean hydrogen across multiple sectors. These projects aim to deliver promising solutions to reduce the carbon emissions of hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy like heavy-duty transportation, port operations, fertilizer and cement production, and power generation.
Node 6, led by MHI H2I, in partnership with Portland General Electric and Williams, aims to develop hydrogen for clean dispatchable electricity generation and provide hydrogen to Node 3 for liquefaction and supply into the heavy-duty transportation market. Node 6 features hydrogen production via electrolysis and peak power generation using 100% hydrogen capable turbines. Other key infrastructure includes a hydrogen pipeline which will provide long-duration energy storage for the power plant and hydrogen delivery to Node 3, located approximately 20 miles from the production site.

They Said It Best
"The Trump administration is coming to town, and I would tell them we don't want to be behind smokey trucks. We have technologies that deliver zero emissions. However, we must keep the incentives to help renewable energy, build more charging stations, and scale green hydrogen production. We must also encourage fleets to buy these trucks, which will be more expensive initially."
- Amy Davis, President of Accelera by Cummins

The Namibian green hydrogen initiative is centered around three key hydrogen valleys: the Southern Region, the Central Region, and the Northern Region. These valleys are designed with integrated infrastructure and production on facilities es powered by abundant solar and wind energy resources. The comprehensive plan includes the development of necessary transportation on infrastructure to facilitate efficient distribution on and export. The objective of this initiative is to achieve an output of 10-12 million metric tons per annum by 2050. This ambitious target underscores Namibia’s commitment to becoming a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
The Namibian government, via the Namibian Hydrogen Fund are conducting a market sounding process to identify interested promoters for the Southern Corridor Green Valorisation and the Central Valley Common User Infrastructure (CUI) Development projects. RfPs will be shared with those participants that have indicated their interest at this stage.

ARPA-E Announces $150 Million in Vision Open 2024 | |
ARPA-E announced up to $150 million in funding to develop technologies to realize ARPA-E’s vision of the energy future.
The three goals set forth by Vision OPEN 2024 require disruptive and ambitious technologies:
GHG-Free Abundant Primary Energy:
This first goal seeks to provide a path to a complete transition of global primary energy supply to GHG-free forms by 2050, while increasing the primary energy supply. This will be realized through innovations that accelerate deployment of GHG-free primary energy and advance both new and nascent technologies.
Intermodal Energy Superhighway:
The goal is to develop an intermodal energy superhighway to transfer energy through several modalities—not just electrical power. A wide range of primary energy will be transferred through various networks (e.g., electrical, chemical, and thermal) designed to support its efficient, reliable, and inexpensive distribution.
Carbon as a Sustainable Building Block of the Future:
ARPA-E envisions a path to a transition from carbon as a source of unsustainable energy to a source of valuable materials. This will be realized through innovations, including engineering plants and algae into “living refineries” of atmospheric carbon; transforming fossil refineries into low-GHG materials factories; applying advanced carbon allotropes to energy technologies and sequestration; and scaling up new polymers that are recyclable by design.
You can access more information about Vision OPEN 2024 on ARPA-E eXCHANGE here.
