BASE ONE PROGRESS

Enegix Energy is moving forward with plans to build a $5.4 billion facility off the coast of Brazil called Base One. 

And that’s news because the company claims that Base One will be the world’s biggest individual CO2 reducer by generating more than 600 million kg of green hydrogen per year by the time it’s fully operational in 2025.

Before we get too far down the PR rabbit-hole here, let me be the first to acknowledge that these are some pretty big claims being made by Enegix. To its credit, though, the Singaporean-Australian company is committed to using only wind and solar power — provided by the offshore wind experts at Enerwind — and has contracted for electricity from 3.4 gigawatts (GW) worth of solar and wind power capacity to produce that hydrogen.

The engineering behind Base One is also sure to be impressive, thanks to help from infrastructure engineering firm Black & Veatch, which also has plans involving the distribution of the hydrogen produced. Base One is a global venture, in other words, and it has some heavy hitters behind it - Link
