Allentown, Pa.-based industrial gas supplier Air Products and Chemicals and Arlington, Va., power utility company AES Corp. announced plans to jointly spend $4 billion on a “mega-scale” green hydrogen plant they would build in north Texas.
The Wilbarger County facility would be the largest in the U.S. to manufacture green hydrogen, with electrolyzers able to produce more than 220 tons per day, the companies say. The plant would also include on-site wind and solar power generation with an installed capacity of about 1.4 GW.
