DOE closes on $504M loan guarantee for Utah hydrogen storage project with 150 GWh seasonal capacity
Need a utility-scale storage alternative to Lithium Ion batteries? Try Hydrogen.
The Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES) project in Delta, Utah, plans to produce hydrogen using excess renewable electricity and store it in two new underground salt caverns.
The stored hydrogen would then be sold for use in transportation, heavy industry and refineries, and….a re-powered coal plant.
The IMP https://lnkd.in/grc7fXRh will re-power away from coal by 2025 and burn a 70 percent-30 percent mix of natural gas and hydrogen. By 2045, the plant would(theoretically) transition to 100 percent hydrogen.
The project is planned to store several months worth of solar and wind overproduction from the Western U.S. and potentially make that electricity (in the form of hydrogen fuel) available in other seasons of the year when there are varied energy demands.
The project will be able to store 150 GWh worth of hydrogen, or about the same amount of battery storage DOE expec
DOE closes on $504M loan guarantee for Utah hydrogen storage project with 150 GWh seasonal capacity
With the first DOE loan since 2014, the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project aims to make hydrogen from excess wind and solar production and then use it to produce electricity when supplies are short.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
