Port of Corpus Christi to explore hydrogen for marine fuel

The Texas port has signed an MoU with Ammpower to potentially produce hydrogen as feedstock for derivatives and fuel

Texas’ Port of Corpus Christi has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ontario-based clean ammonia firm Ammpower to explore low-carbon hydrogen as a feedstock for its derivatives and shipping fuels. Ammpower will evaluate the feasibility of developing a facility which will produce, store and distribute green hydrogen’s derivatives for use as a feedstock for low-carbon fuels and as energy carriers. The firm plans to supply both regional and export markets. Ammpower is a private sector partner for the Port of Corpus Christi’s planned Horizons Clean Hydrogen Hub. The US Department of Energy recently encouraged the port to submit a full application for federal funding of up to $1bn pe
