Developing clean energy solutions
We focus on producing hydrogen & clean transport fuels.
Learn more about what we are doing.
Here is what we are doing
We are among the first movers in the nascent hydrogen industry with our
portfolio alone of over $2 Billion in projects in the Permian Basin of West Texas.
We are investing vast amounts of personal energy and working capital, creating
from whole cloth our contribution to reduce the carbon footprint of energy
production and consumption. Our projects will produce hydrogen from renewable
power, convert that hydrogen to a product that can be easily transported such as
ammonia, and, as needed, re-cracked back to hydrogen at the market’s last mile.
We also are addressing the continuing energy demand for legacy refined crude
oil products by building clean fuels refineries that capture over 95% of emissions
by producing refined products with solar power, carbon capture and newly-
patented process technology.
Here is what we are doing.
Green Hydrogen to Green Ammonia Project
This is a 160 MW renewable power project to provide 55 tons per day of Green
Hydrogen and to convert it to Green Ammonia, utilizing electrolyzers
manufactured by an international technology leader. In addition, the Green
Ammonia complex is developed by an international leader in ammonia
technology. We plan to produce 209,000 tons per year of Ammonia for export to
Europe through our relationship with the Port of Corpus Christi. We have plans
to double that production capability requiring doubling of the renewable power
component in a proposal to an international super major petroleum and chemical
company in Europe.
Blue Hydrogen to Power and Ammonia
This is our multi-phased project utilizing natural gas reformed to H2 designed to
produce low-carbon power by supplying H2 to H2-capable turbines with
optionality to produce ammonia or methanol. The natural gas will be supplied by
a super major petroleum company a short distance from the project site,
reformed in separated facilities to produce Hydrogen and CO2. The project is
designed to produce 424 tons per day of H2, with 99.9% of the CO2 captured
and sold via pipeline to another super major petroleum company. The unit
utilizes 50 MW of renewable power as input, reforming 61 million standard cubic
feet of natural gas, and producing up to 365 MW of low carbon intensity power
with optionality of producing up to 830,000 tons of Blue Ammonia by diverting
Hydrogen to Ammonia production.
Green Hydrogen to Green Direct Reduction Iron
We are in discussions with potential partners to reassemble an internationally
located DRI facility that has been idled and move it to our Permian Basin site.
This DRI facility plans to utilize our production of Green Hydrogen to fire the DRI
facility for production of Green DRI for shipment to U.S. steel production facilities.
Hydrogen Pipeline from the Permian Basin to the Port of Corpus Christi.
We are in discussions with potential partners to design and build a hydrogen
pipeline from our geographic areas covered by Trans Permian H2Hub. We
believe the pipeline access to hydrogen producers in the Permian Basin will be a
strategic advantage for domestic and exports of hydrogen and its byproducts.
Clean Fuels Refinery.
We are building a next-generation crude oil refinery that reduces emissions with
proven technologies. Today’s fossil fuel infrastructure can be powered by renewable
energy to significantly reduce emissions while improving energy efficiency.
We are bridging fossil fuel infrastructure with solar and wind power
and carbon capture.
In partnership with Polaris Engineering we are creating a next generation crude oil refinery that reduces emissions with renewable energy and carbon capture.
