These hubs are a key part of the Biden administration's strategy, to transition the U.S. to clean energy, and are necessary to decarbonize key industries in the coming decades.
What are clean hydrogen hubs?
This process, used in ethanol plants, produces a highly pure CO2 stream and is relatively inexpensive to capture compared to other industries.
What is Fermentation
In 2018, this oil company released an energy scenario with, what the Washington Post called a ‘radical’ new approach to climate, serving as a standard for the rest of the industry.
What Is Shell
In August, the EPA issued a notice of violation to Archer-Daniels-Midland for failing to meet permit requirements and regulations related to formation fluids, emergency plans, and well monitoring under this act.
What is the Safe Drinking Water Act?
The new facility, known as project Cypress Southwest in Louisiana, will be built next to this port, located in Vinton, Calcasieu Parish.
What is Port of Vinton
This type of hydrogen is considered a critical decarbonization solution for sectors that are difficult to electrify, like chemical and steel industries, and long-haul transportation.
What is Green hydrogen?
Many carbon capture facilities for industries like steel, cement, and petrochemicals are currently in this phase of development in 2022.
What is the Development Stage
This facility, located in Wyoming often cited as a ‘successful’ large-scale CCS project (40% carbon capture), however an analysis by IEEFA in 2022 revealed that only 3 percent of the carbon captured there has been permanently sequestered underground.
What is the Labarge Shute Creek Gas Facility.
In addition to Decatur, other CCS projects are being proposed in agricultural areas across the U.S., such as in these two states, where companies like BP and others are looking to store CO2 from agribusiness facilities.
What are Iowa and Indiana?
To support the Climeworks project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana Economic Development (LED) offered a competitive incentive package, including the comprehensive workforce development solutions of this program.
What is LED FastStart
The three pillars that create a framework advocated from environmental groups and many in the hydrogen industry to ensure genuine climate benefits and contributes to greening the electrical grid.
Temporal Matching, Incrementality, and Deliverability
This act, which includes funding for carbon capture, is providing an opportunity for a more coordinated approach to link multiple capture facilities to an integrated transport and storage hub.
What is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
This international organization has stated that even if CCS achieves its full potential, it will only contribute about 2.4 percent of global carbon mitigation by 2030.
What is the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
Class VI wells, which are used for carbon capture and storage, involve companies injecting CO2 into bedrock as this type of fluid for "long-term storage.
