Verdagy Partners with Black & Veatch for Texas Hydrogen Project

Verdagy, a prominent player in the clean hydrogen electrolysis sector, has officially selected Black & Veatch for preliminary engineering services related to its groundbreaking hydrogen plant located on Texas's Gulf Coast. This upcoming facility, designed to generate a remarkable 9,000 tons per year of clean hydrogen, marks a significant step forward in the evolution of the energy sector in the United States.

The project is anticipated to deliver over 60 megawatts (MW) of clean hydrogen production, contributing to both domestic energy demands and export potentials. With the completion of detailed engineering work scheduled for May 2025 and a final investment decision expected by July 2025, the project is poised for significant growth and innovation in Texas's energy landscape.

Rahul Bammi, Verdagy’s president, expressed excitement about the partnership with Black & Veatch, emphasizing the collaborative efforts necessary to push forward with this initiative. “We are thrilled to join forces with Black & Veatch and leverage their extensive expertise in executing projects within this critical industry,” Bammi stated.

The establishment of this clean hydrogen facility is projected to inject over $150 million into the Texas economy, bolstering local job markets and enhancing the United States' energy export capabilities. In addition to creating job opportunities, this initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop over one gigawatt of upcoming hydrogen projects across the state.

Anand Pattani, vice president and general manager of Energy Majors at Black & Veatch, affirmed the company's commitment to advancing the U.S. energy infrastructure. “With a robust history in developing storage, processing, and liquefaction facilities, we are honored to have been chosen for this crucial preliminary engineering study,” he remarked. “Our aim is to fortify Verdagy’s efforts in this venture, contributing to the nation's energy development and enhancing American energy exports.”

The hydrogen plant will utilize Verdagy's innovative eDynamic® electrolyzers, which are celebrated for their extensive operational range. These cutting-edge devices are designed to dynamically adjust to fluctuations in the electricity supply from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) in real-time. This design improves grid resilience while optimizing hydrogen production that meets the stringent Renewable Fuel Standard for Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) as established by European directives and the U.S. Department of Treasury’s guidelines.

The electrolyzers produced by Verdagy are manufactured in the United States, thereby reinforcing domestic supply chains and job creation at every step of the process.
