Company announces first-of-a-kind $3B renewable hydrogen project

The zero-carbon hydrogen would be stored in underground salt caverns — also to be newly built — then piped or trucked away to serve as fuel for fuel-cell vehicles or be blended into natural gas systems.

The jungle of new clean hydrogen infrastructure envisioned by developers echoes the “hub” concept that federal lawmakers and Energy Department officials have said they want to build.
