Will a hydrogen power station work as planned?

The nearby coal-fired power station has been a reliable employer for nearly 40 years. If it works as planned, the hydrogen project will be an alternative to the utility-scale chemical storage batteries that have been installed to quickly provide energy to the nation’s power grid.

What is the Intermountain Power Agency's hydrogen storage project?

The project will store hydrogen generated by the Intermountain Power Agency’s IPP Renewed Project – an 840 MW hydrogen-capable gas turbine combined cycle power plant located in the area.

Can hydrogen be stored in salt caverns?

The project is part of an audacious plan to create hydrogen, which produces no carbon dioxide when burned, and store it in caverns until electricity is needed. Construction for the Advanced Clean Energy Storage project, in Delta, Utah. The operation will produce hydrogen and store it in hollowed-out salt caverns.

Is hydrogen an energy storage carrier?

“We’re making hydrogen as an energy storage carrier.” In the United States, the Biden administration has focused intently on hydrogen, last fall awarding a total of $7 billion in development money to seven proposed regional hubs to spur the use of the gas in various industries.

Where will hydrogen be stored?

That hydrogen will be stored in two gigantic solution-mined caverns sited in the only salt dome in the Western U.S.
