Hitachi Energy joins US’ H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond project
Published on: Jun 6, 2024
The initiative uses clean energy sources to decarbonize Texas’ transportation sector and aims to be a cornerstone for future hydrogen developments in North America and globally.
Hitachi Energy has joined the US Department of Energy’s ‘H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond’ initiative. The company will work alongside GTI Energy, Frontier Energy, The University of Texas Austin, and other industry stakeholders and partners as part of the H2 development initiative.
For the project, Hitachi is contributing its expertise in integrating utility-scale renewable energy sources with power grids and managing and orchestrating a variety of energy sources. The ‘H2@Scale' project includes multiple hydrogen production options, such as a vehicle refueling station alongside a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
“The initiative comes at a pivotal moment in our commitment to advancing hydrogen production and its role in the evolving clean energy landscape,” said Anthony Allard, Executive Vice President and Region Head of North America at Hitachi Energy.
The project represents one of the largest collections of renewable hydrogen production, onsite storage, and end-use technologies to be located at one site, laying the foundation for expanding hydrogen’s role in decarbonizing Texas.
