HydaptiveTM will use renewable energy through electrolysis to produce environmentally friendly hydrogen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. This delivery marks another milestone in the project’s development and another step in advancing the long-term use of green hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions in the US.
Mitsubishi Power equipment delivery is being coordinated with the on-site construction schedule to optimize the overall project schedule. Once completed, the ACES Delta Hub system will nearly double global annual clean hydrogen production levels.
The ACES Delta Hub, a joint project led by Mitsubishi Power Americas and Chevron USA Inc.’s New Energies Company (formerly Magnum Development), is a large-scale, world-class clean hydrogen facility designed to produce, store and supply green hydrogen to the western US. The center will initially be capable of converting 220 MW of renewable energy into almost 100 tonnes per day of green hydrogen, which will then be stored in two huge salt caverns, having a storage capacity of over 300 GWh of dispatchable clean energy. These salt caves are located within the only large salt dome geological formation in the western US.
A pipeline from the ACES Delta Hub will deliver hydrogen to the nearby Intermountain Power Agency’s “IPP Renewed” power plant project for seasonal, dispatchable renewable energy storage using two advanced-class Mitsubishi Power J-series gas turbines. The turbines will use up to 30% hydrogen blended with natural gas at start-up, aiming to transition to 100% hydrogen by 2045 or sooner, resulting in carbon-free utility-scale power generation. Together, the high-performance turbines have the capacity to generate 840 MW of electricity.
“HydaptiveTM integrated technologies will enable our customers to produce cost-effective hydrogen at scale and facilitate the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. The delivery of this equipment represents just one of many significant milestones as we move closer to completion of the ACES Delta Hub,” said Kent Rockaway, Vice President of Hydrogen Production, Mitsubishi Power Americas.
