8 Rivers ‘game-changing’ hydrogen tech makes commercial debut
US company to deploy 8RH2 methane-based production process at large-scale ammonia facility in Texas
North Carolina-based low-carbon technology company 8 Rivers Capital is pushing ahead with the first commercial deployment of its “game-changing” 8RH2 methane-based hydrogen production process as part of a clean ammonia project at Port Arthur in Texas. The Cormorant Clean Energy project will convert hydrogen produced by 8RH2 into 880,000t/yr of low-carbon ammonia, with a CO₂ capture rate of above 99%. The project’s strategic location in the US Gulf Coast will enable it to use existing infrastructure and the local workforce. The project is expected to mobilise more than $1b of investment in the region and to create more than 1,000 new construction jobs from 2024 to 2027, according to 8 Rivers.
