Hydrogen: How
El Dorado, Kansas Could Help Fuel the Future.
El Dorado, Kansas has enough water to produce “Green” or natural hydrogen and is located close to potential safe storage.
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water
10 million gallons of drought resilient water per day
50+ billion gallons of water storage capacity
Producing clean hydrogen can power rail and truck transportation, produce ammonia for fertilizer for farmers and can be used in making cement, steel or other types of industrial products.
Benefits to locating to a Hydrogen Hub in Kansas
Some of the lowest wholesale electrical generation costs in the nation, fostered by significant electrical generation from wind, solar and nuclear sources
Robust agricultural and industrial sectors that can readily consume derivative products made from hydrogen
Extensive underground hydrogen storage potential in salt depositsthat can be transitioned into storage caverns covering 37,000 square miles – making it easy to store and transport
About the Kansas’ HARVEST Hydrogen Hub
The HARVEST Hydrogen Hub represents a non-partisan coalition of public and private parties that are active in Kansas and have a strong interest in the development of a productive hydrogen-based energy sector based in Kansas that supports a wide range of economic activity and acts as a critical, central hub for the future national hydrogen infrastructure.
The goal is to replace the use of fossil fuels in some sectors of the economy and open the door to what is known as the hydrogen economy.
