The tour—hosted by Austin Knight, Chevron’s vice president of hydrogen—showcased how the project.
Here are three key takeaways:
• The ACES project can demonstrate hydrogen’s potential at scale. The unique geology of the Delta region means that hydrogen can be stored in two massive salt caverns at the site.
• The hydrogen stored in those caverns will be dispatchable, meaning that it can be adjusted to meet demand. The project will first supply Intermountain Power Agency in Utah. Because Chevron is well positioned to connect this energy to its existing value chains, the project is expected to expand to supply other sectors in the western U.S.
• With ACES Delta, Chevron is bringing together renewable power, storage and power generation in one location and helping to lead the way in meeting the demand for hydrogen in the U.S.
