MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure Formalizes Agreement with Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association to Further Advance the Region’s Clean Energy and Economic Objectives:

  • Mitsubishi Power Americas, through its subsidiary MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure, is set to provide industry-leading hydrogen technology and expertise as part of the development of the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2 Hub).
  • The PNWH2 Hub will deliver hydrogen solutions that advance the nation’s clean energy goals, driving benefits for communities through clean energy investments, well-paying jobs, and enhanced energy security.
  • The PNWH2 Hub will address some of the hardest sectors to decarbonize such as heavy-duty transport, fertilizer production, and dispatchable peak power generation.

LAKE MARY, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi Power Americas, through its subsidiary MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure (MHI H2I), announces the recent signing of a subrecipient agreement between the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWH2) and MHI H2I’s Boardman Hydrogen Hub project. The PNWH2 Hub, one of the country’s seven regional hydrogen hubs aimed at decarbonizing the U.S. energy sector, continues to progress through Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) H2Hubs Program. This milestone advances PNWH2’s objectives and movement toward the deployment of clean hydrogen infrastructure and technologies in the region.

The agreement marks the formalization of nearly two years of collaboration, further enabling MHI H2I’s project development efforts and allowing access to federal funding from the DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). MHI H2I intends to utilize industry-leading hydrogen technology and solutions from Mitsubishi Power Americas to further advance the hub’s development and adhere to the clean energy goals set forth by the DOE. The DOE’s investment in regional hydrogen hubs is one of the largest investments in the agency’s history – and will form the foundation of a national clean hydrogen network.

The PNWH2 Hub, comprised of eight groups of projects, also known as nodes, across Washington, Oregon and Montana, will leverage the region’s innovative technology and renewable energy to expand the use of clean hydrogen across multiple sectors. These projects aim to deliver promising solutions to reduce the carbon emissions of hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy like heavy-duty transportation, port operations, fertilizer and cement production, and power generation.

Node 6, led by MHI H2I, in partnership with Portland General Electric and Williams, aims to develop hydrogen for clean dispatchable electricity generation and provide hydrogen to Node 3 for liquefaction and supply into the heavy-duty transportation market. Node 6 features hydrogen production via electrolysis and peak power generation using 100% hydrogen capable turbines. Other key infrastructure includes a hydrogen pipeline which will provide long-duration energy storage for the power plant and hydrogen delivery to Node 3, located approximately 20 miles from the production site.

“This important step solidifies our position in the PNWH2 Hub and underscores our strong commitment to advancing the hydrogen economy in the U.S.,” said Scott Neumeister, Director of Regional Business Development, MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure. “The Pacific Northwest is poised to serve as a national benchmark for successful low-carbon intensity and economically viable green hydrogen production. The development of hydrogen infrastructure at scale in the U.S. is critical, as is developing robust commercial frameworks for long-term services and support. While the challenges ahead are significant, they also present opportunities to innovate and collaborate across the industry. We look forward to continuing our efforts and working together toward a carbon-free energy future.

“Our dedicated group of partners form the backbone of PNWH2’s work to accelerate the investment in and deployment of clean hydrogen technologies,” said Chris Green, President of the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association. “Formalizing our project subrecipient agreements marks a significant step in laying the groundwork for the Hub’s development, putting us on the path to achieving our goal of establishing the Pacific Northwest as a leader in bringing new energy manufacturing jobs to our region.”

According to the OCED, the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program will establish H2Hubs across the nation and jumpstart a new clean energy economy in the United States. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the H2Hubs will accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of clean hydrogen, helping to generate clean, dispatchable power, create a new form of energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry and transportation. Together, the H2Hubs will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen. The H2Hubs will also help to enable the development of diverse, domestic clean energy pathways across multiple sectors of the economy and serve as a central driver in helping communities’ benefit from clean energy investments, good-paying jobs, and improved energy security.
