Hy Stor Energy LP has selected French electrical equipment maker Schneider Electric as the main contractor for automation, digital energy management, and safety solutions for its Mississippi Clean Hydrogen Hub (MCHH) and broader development platform in the United States.
According to a recent statement, the companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) under which Schneider Electric will provide its automation and safety solutions, Aveva process operation and AI optimization software, weather analysis, predictive operations, and digital energy management solutions, along with commissioning and operational analytical tools.
“Innovating both the physical and digital operation of renewable and storage assets is a critical part of the energy transition,” said Hy Stor Energy's CEO Laura Luce.
Hy Stor Energy became the first pledge member in North America in 2022 to commit to the global GH2 Green Hydrogen Standard and to pledge to produce the green molecule using 100% or near 100% renewable energy.
The MCHH project is expected to be the largest zero-carbon, off-grid hydrogen production and salt cavern storage hub in the US, according to Hy Stor. It will serve business, industrial, transportation, and utility sectors across the state, neighboring states, and the entire Eastern US.
