A public utility in North Central Washington broke ground Monday for a hydrogen production facility. It s one of several related actions in the Pacific Northwest that reflect renewed interest in hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel.
The Douglas County Public Utility District is spending around $20 million to build its renewable hydrogen production plant on the east bank of the Columbia River north of Wenatchee. The main feature of the plant will be an electrolyzer, which uses unsold electricity from the PUD s dam on the river to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. We are building this as a pilot in hopes that if it takes off we will continue to produce even more hydrogen in the future, said Douglas PUD general manager Gary Ivory as the utility’s three member board stood at the ready behind him with their ceremonial groundbreaking shovels in a former orchard field.
