ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A team of veteran energy developers is putting the building blocks in place to potentially convert San Juan County into a “hydrogen hub” to supply clean electricity to western utilities, plus non-carbon fuel for vehicles and industrial processes.
Libertad Power Project LLC says it could have its first hydrogen-fueled generating station up and running in the Farmington area by 2024 – far faster than any other commercial project currently under development in the U.S. And once operating, the power plant would provide the initial anchor for building out a broad production-and-storage center that could attract industrial partners to condense and liquify Libertad’s Made-in-New-Mexico hydrogen for transport to customers across the nation.
San Juan County, N.M., Aims to Become a Hydrogen Energy Hub
The county hopes to convert into a “hydrogen hub” that will supply clean energy to different industries. The first hydrogen fuel station is expected to be active by 2024, faster than any other current commercial project of its kind in the nation.

As the northwest corner of New Mexico prepares for the closure of the San Juan Generating Station, at least one proposed project to help displaced workers could lead to increased natural gas extraction.
Last year, the Energy Transition Act committee sent out a request for information on projects that could be funded through the portions of bonds that could be set aside for economic diversification, workforce training and assisting the Navajo Nation.
This resulted in more than two dozen proposals, however the funding is not yet available due to a lawsuit that has postponed the sale of low-interest bonds.
