Invenergy is expanding into green hydrogen
Sauk Valley Hydrogen slips to Q2
Invenergy’s first hydrogen project was due to come online at the end of 2022
US utility Invenergy has confirmed to Hydrogen Economist that completion of its first green hydrogen project—Sauk Valley Hydrogen—has slipped into Q2 2023 from the previous target date of the end of last year. The development aims to produce 52t/yr of green hydrogen using a proton-exchange-membrane electrolyser provided by manufacturer Ohmium International and power from a co-located Invenergy solar farm. Invenergy has previously indicated that the hydrogen could be used in its nearby 584MW Nelson Energy Center gas-fired power plant. Although Invenergy’s first hydrogen project is delayed, the company is expanding its presence across potential regional hubs for hydrogen in the US. The uility
