Babcock & Wilcox teams with Newpoint Gas on advanced hydrogen

In Ohio, Babcock & Wilcox has signed a teaming agreement with Newpoint Gas to serve as a foundational technology partner, and provide advanced hydrogen generation, decarbonization and combustion technologies for the redevelopment of the former U.S. Department of Energy Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site near Piketon, Ohio. 

B&W will supply its BrightLoopTM technology to produce hydrogen and isolate carbon dioxide for storage and will supply a steam generator utilizing the company’s BrightGenTM hydrogen combustion technology to produce clean, near-zero emissions energy. Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co., LLC will provide construction and installation services. 

When complete, the $1.51 billion h2Trillium Energy and Manufacturing (h2TEAM) complex will operate as an integrated energy decarbonized hydrogen and closed-loop manufacturing facility, generating clean hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide for long-term storage or beneficial use.
