Fidelis New Energy to build net-zero carbon hydrogen production facility in USA

Fidelis New Energy has selected Mason County, West Virginia, USA for the development of a lifecycle carbon neutral hydrogen production project, low carbon microgrid, and and the Monarch Cloud Campus for data centers.

The project is one of two high-impact industrial business districts in West Virginia based on Code 5B 2-21 and will consist of four phases with each phase producing over 500 metric tons per day of net-zero carbon hydrogen. The first phase is expected to commence operations in 2028, with an approximate capital cost of US$2 billion per phase.

The project will be one of the first hydrogen production facilities to use the FidelisH2 technology, which enables the production of hydrogen with zero lifecycle carbon emissions. The technology utilizes a combination of natural gas, renewable energy, and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration to produce hydrogen. The resulting hydrogen can be used for a wide range of purposes, including carbon-neutral hyperscale data centers, greenhouses, transportation, and steel production.
