Hydrogen could soon be extracted from water in Lancaster County for use as carbon-free fuel, according to recently announced plans for a new production facility to be located in Martic Township.

The site is just east of the Susquehanna River, as well as the Holtwood Hydroelectric Dam, which is expected to provide renewable energy to power plant operations.
