The facilities can power a series of electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen and oxygen through a design that also provides the flexibility to incrementally expand production and storage capabilities through modular additions, the statement said.
The hydrogen design can be used for grid-scale blending with natural gas pipelines, blending existing or new power-generating facilities and energy-storage injection into salt caverns and above-ground storage tanks, the companies said.
The facility design allows for incremental 15 MW of 100% hydrogen-fueled power generation to support grid-scale energy storage applications, according to the announcement.
"Working closely with our strategic partner, CB&I Storage Solutions, we believe New Energy's innovative, flexible design can provide the most cost-effective application of green hydrogen technologies for the natural gas industry," Alexander "Hap" Ellis, New Energy managing partner, said.
