Biomass

Among other actions by the Michigan Public Service Commission was the approval of a 220 MW/800 MWh battery storage facility at the site of the former Trenton Channel coal-fired plant.

The 253 MW project was one of several selected as part of a competitive procurement process for firm renewable generation on Oʻahu.

General Hydrogen would purchase and transport off-site up to 15 tons of hydrogen from the facility per day, according to the terms of the agreement.

When the project is complete, the 75 MW TES Filer City Station plant would use biomass to generate power and be equipped with B&W’s SolveBright post-combustion CO2 scrubbing process.

The carbon-negative plant being developed by Consol Energy would run on waste coal and biomass, with the potential for demonstration in 5–10 years and commercialization by 2030.

Xcel Energy, provider of electricity and natural gas services to nearly 6 million customers in eight Western and Midwestern states, has committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its natural gas business by 2050.

The gravity storage systems will be deployed at DG Fuels projects in Louisiana, British Columbia, and Ohio, providing green electricity in conjunction with solar to match demand load of green hydrogen production. The renewable power will be used to power HydrogenPro water electrolysis for both hydrogen and oxygen feedstock production.
