The Biden admin's climate agenda is facing a challenge in drought-prone Corpus Christi, Texas, where a proposed clean hydrogen hub would require installing energy-intensive, expensive and potentially environmentally damaging seawater desalination plants.
- The Biden administration's climate agenda is facing an unexpected challenge in drought-prone Corpus Christi, Texas, where a proposed clean hydrogen hub would require the installation of energy-intensive, expensive and potentially environmentally damaging seawater desalination plants.
Reuters interviewed six researchers who study hydrogen as green power and had exclusive access to an analysis by Rystad Energy consultancy that showed that the Biden administration's vision of low-carbon hydrogen may run into a challenge that is itself exacerbated by climate change: water scarcity. The Biden administration is offering companies up to $100 billion in tax credits and regions up to $7 billion in grants to build out hydrogen hubs to help reach a target of producing 50 million metric tons of clean hydrogen fuel by 2050.
The city is contracted to supply up to 25 million gallons of water per day to major industrial users ExxonMobil and Saudi Arabia's Basic Industries Corporation, Zanoni said, and anticipates hosting at least a half dozen green hydrogen producers at the hub, each which would need around 3 to 4 million gallons of fresh water per day.
In March, the EPA stepped in with a $170 million loan to offset the price spikes for local consumers.
