Texas hydrogen ‘proto-hub’ leads the US in technical potential for DOE-funded regional hubs: GTI

April 25, 2022

One Texas-based hydrogen project is poised to become a regional U.S. hydrogen hub just two years after the Energy Department-funded pilot started, the project engineer said Friday at the RE+ Texas conference in San Antonio.

The Texas coast has 1,600 miles of hydrogen pipelines, many of which are retrofitted from natural gas. States other than Texas have only three to five miles of contiguous hydrogen-specific pipelines, Brian Weeks, senior director for hydrogen business development at the Gas Technology Institute, said at RE+ Texas.

The H2@Scale project, which has attracted additional corporate partnerships, is converting renewable natural gas to hydrogen and investigating applications that include carbon capture, fuel cell technology, hydrogen blending with natural gas, and hydrogen liquefaction to store excess wind energy.
