Electric Hydrogen has announced the location of its first factory in Devens, Massachusetts. The newly constructed 187,000 ft2 facility will have an annual manufacturing capacity of 1.2GW, with production of EH2's 100MW green hydrogen electrolyzers commencing in Q1 2024.
Dr. David Eaglesham, EH2's Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder, stated, “Our company has a single purpose: to make molecules to decarbonize our world. The machines we will produce at our new factory in Devens will have a transformational impact by enabling ultra-low-cost green hydrogen at an industrial scale.”
Green hydrogen, which is produced by breaking the chemical bonds of water using renewable electricity, is a growth industry that can make an immediate impact on the global climate crisis. Electric Hydrogen expects its technology to establish the standard for industry-wide cost reduction, making green hydrogen cheaper than fossil alternatives.
Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed her support for Electric Hydrogen's new factory in Devens, stating, “Electric Hydrogen Co's new factory in Devens will harness state-of-the-art technology and bright minds in Massachusetts to produce fossil-free hydrogen from water and renewable electricity – creating jobs, helping industries transition away from fossil fuels, and curbing emissions.”
EH2's Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, Raffi Garabedian, emphasized the urgency of the company's mission, stating, “We have a backlog of customer orders to fulfill and are moving quickly to build and ship the world's most powerful electrolyzers.”
The new factory in Devens is expected to create good-paying manufacturing jobs and contribute to the state and country's ambitious decarbonization goals. Massachusetts Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao expressed her gratitude for the company's investment in Massachusetts and its cutting-edge hydrogen electrolyzer technology, stating, “EH2's cutting-edge hydrogen electrolyzer technology will help our state and country reach our ambitious decarbonization goals.”
The Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have accelerated the growth of green energy jobs and are the largest investments in tackling climate change in the history of the world. Congresswoman Lori Trahan expressed her excitement for Electric Hydrogen's expansion and the growth of clean energy technologies in Devens, stating, “Electric Hydrogen brings with it good-paying manufacturing jobs, and the company is not alone. Towns like Devens are rapidly growing into incubators for revolutionary clean energy technologies with jobs ready to meet the demands of the 21st century.”
In a world where climate change is an urgent issue, Electric Hydrogen's commitment to decarbonizing the world through the production of green hydrogen electrolyzers is an important step towards a more sustainable future. The establishment of the Devens factory is a significant milestone for the company and a positive development for Massachusetts' economy and the fight against climate change.
