Clean Hydrogen in Louisiana What is hydrogen? Hydrogen is an abundant chemical element and energy carrier, often used as a feedstock in chemical and industrial processes. [...] Two main pathways to produce clean hydrogen 1 Electrolysis, powered by clean electricity: Electrolysis is an electro-chemical process in which electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen – in a piece of equipment called an electrolyzer. [...] Clean hydrogen uses Clean hydrogen is ideal in sectors where it can replace traditionally produced dirty hydrogen: oil refining, ammonia for fertilizer, and methanol.3 Hydrogen also has high potential for use in the steelmaking industry where it is proven as a low-carbon replacement for coal coke. [...] Clean Hydrogen Projects in Louisiana An estimated $11 billion in blue hydrogen and $6.5 billion in green hydrogen and ammonia announcements have been made in Louisiana. [...] meet with communities and prioritize knowledge Chemicals like ammonia can act as stable carriers of from communities to design safety and emergency hydrogen and require lower pressures to condense protocols for each step of the clean hydrogen supply or higher temperatures to liquify.
