Hy Stor Energy is building a green hydrogen hub in Mississippi to generate zero-emission hydrogen energy while creating a new industry with hundreds of jobs and economic growth, according to the company. The project will be the largest of its kind in the U.S. and will produce clean energy at scale that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels in industries that are hard to decarbonize. Hy Stor is Jackson-based but has land across the state, all the way down to their office in Gulfport. The company has acquired 70,000+ acres in south Mississippi.
(Green hydrogen is a form of renewable energy that is produced by splitting a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen parts via electrolysis. When powered it uses renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, that has zero carbon and zero methane emissions.)
Hydrogen energy is a part of bringing flexibility and reliability to the energy grid because it can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels or electricity. Hy Stor is partnering with the Port of Gulfport and Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission (HCPHC) to help bring renewable hydrogen energy to the Gulf Coast region. HCPHC is home to Port of Bienville Industrial Park and Stennis International Airport. This partnership will allow Port Bienville to be the first Gulf Region port to use renewable hydrogen fuel in its daily operations. (Sun Herald 12/30/22)
