ACES hydrogen project aims to promote a lower-carbon future – Chevron

The ACES hydrogen project is expected to begin commercial operations in 2025. It will supply hydrogen to the Intermountain Power Agency for its IPP Renewed project, which aims to transition to lower-carbon power generation.

Storing hydrogen on-site allows it to be shipped when needed. This, in turn, allows for greater use of renewables in the energy mix. The first project could generate up to 100 metric tons of hydrogen per day, which would be stored in salt caverns.

“Chevron brings its experience in project execution, safe, reliable operations and building large energy value chains to ACES,” Jain said. “We are learning a lot from our first project at ACES—and that experience gives us a competitive advantage as we develop other lower-carbon hydrogen options.”
