Happy Presidents’ Day and Monday!
The buzz last
week at the Port of Corpus Christi is two Hydrogen Hubs are combining and have
applied to the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy
Demonstration for the DOE Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program. The Port of Corpus Christi and Trans Permian
have combined their application and the Port is the prime applicant.
In recent
years the Port of Corpus Christi has made improvements to the channel, and is
now one of the most efficient on the US Gulf Coast. The Port of Corpus Christi Clean Hydrogen Hub
(HCH2) is the prime applicant and it is the commonality in about 24 discrete
clean hydrogen production projects in the proposed Hub. The HCH2 Concept Paper
which was submitted to the DOE in November 2022, names approximately 30 private
sector members who will be involved anywhere from being owners, developers, operators,
off takers, and end-users of different aspects to hydrogen projects and its
foundation for society and its local community.
Ten Texas
Permian Basin Cities were part of the Trans Permian H2Hub which had lined up hydrogen
projects within the area and they were planning on doing everything from
producing, making hydrogen derivatives from different supplies, transporting as
well as manufacturing hydrogen fuel cells, refueling stations, municipal
transit and freight transport projects.
These two
combining their efforts makes a solid foundation and capitalizes on using the
existing framework and commercialized links between West Texas’ production and
the Ports door to international destinations.

Isn’t it
great to see such team work and vision in trying to keep Texas a leader in
Energy! All the while embracing the
renewable future which will help keep us there and help with our pollution reduction
objectives. Our team of experts in
energy can help you too with the change for a better future, too!
We hope you
have a wonderful fun week!
