A Houston energy transition company plans to produce clean hydrogen with natural gas in West Virginia. West Virginia Gov.
Under the company’s plan, the project would remove and annually store about 10 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions underground, beneath state forests, wildlife management areas and other state-owned properties.
Fidelis New Energy CEO Dan Shapiro said the company also plans a separate $650 million investment to use hydrogen generation technology from Akron, Ohio-based Babcock & Wilcox at the facility. “The geology of West Virginia is very unique and it’s served our nation for a long time very well,” Shapiro said. “The geology of West Virginia is also unique in a new way — as it can store CO2. And that is a significant differentiator for any state that has geology that can store CO2.”
