Invenergy’s clean hydrogen facility reaches commercial operations

Utilising power from Invenergy’s co-located solar facility and Ohmium International’s electrolyser technology, Sauk Valley can produce up to 40 tpy of clean hydrogen with the capacity to store up to 400 kg of clean hydrogen on site.

“A range of industries have identified the potential of clean hydrogen, and I am proud that Invenergy has invested in the talent and technology to develop a new energy asset with multiple end users,” said Joel Schroeder, Executive Vice President of Engineering and Technology at Invenergy.

“We are pleased that our PEM electrolyser technology is making this clean hydrogen resource a reality. This is a significant step toward a sustainable energy future, and we are eager to see its positive impact across various sectors," added Arne Ballantine, Ohmium CEO.

Sauk Valley’s initial hydrogen supply has been used as a turbine generator cooling agent at the adjacent Nelson Energy Center, Invenergy’s 980 MW natural gas facility. The loading capability at Sauk Valley also enables hydrogen to be shipped and used offsite. Sauk Valley’s first offsite order will be delivered by Certarus to an Aether Fuels project.

“Invenergy’s significant renewables portfolio allows our team to produce clean hydrogen for ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors of the economy across the country at scale, especially large hydrogen consumers such as liquid fuels and chemicals plants. We are excited to supply Aether with hydrogen from Sauk Valley, demonstrating our unique market capabilities and strong partnerships,” commented Jon Horek, Vice President of Hydrogen at Invenergy.
