Scaling clean hydrogen production and storage in Utah

Hydrogen has become one of the main routes to decarbonizing industry and transportation, sectors that find it hard to abate their CO₂ emissions. With emission-intensive methods still dominating production, efforts to ramp up clean hydrogen synthesis have gained substantial momentum.

This includes initiatives such as the Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES Delta) Hub, an industry- and utility-scale facility for producing and storing clean hydrogen. Based in Delta, Utah, ACES Delta expects to generate hydrogen, to support decarbonization across the western US.

Using renewable energy, ACES Delta will produce carbon-free hydrogen from water, through electrolysis, and also provide underground storage in salt caverns. The project is a joint venture between Mitsubishi Power Americas and Chevron and is expected to bring carbon-free, reliable power to millions.

Watch the video below to see how it can serve as a blueprint for similar facilities to be rolled out across the US in the future.
