World's largest Green hydrogen project to fuel SpaceX!

2023-04-06

Green Hydrogen International, a Us-Based start-up, will build the world's largest green hydrogen project in Texas, where it plans to produce hydrogen using 60GW of solar and wind power and salt cavern storage systems.

Located in Duval, South Texas, the project is planned to produce more than 2.5 million tons of gray hydrogen annually, representing 3.5 percent of global gray hydrogen production.


It's worth noting that one of its output pipelines leads to Corpus Christ and Brownsville on the US-Mexico border, where Musk's SpaceX project is based, and which is one of the reasons for the project -- to combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide to create a clean fuel suitable for rocket use. To that end, SpaceX is developing new rocket engines, which previously used coal-based fuels.

In addition to jet fuel, the company is also looking at other uses for hydrogen, such as delivering it to nearby gas-fired power plants to replace natural gas, synthesizing ammonia and exporting it around the world.

Founded in 2019 by renewable energy developer Brian Maxwell, the first 2GW project is scheduled to begin operating in 2026, complete with two salt caverns to store compressed hydrogen. The company says the dome can hold more than 50 hydrogen storage caverns, providing up to 6TWh of energy storage.

Previously, the world's largest single-unit Green hydrogen project announced was the Western Green Energy Hub in Western Australia, powered by 50GW of wind and solar power; Kazakhstan also has a planned 45GW green hydrogen project.
