In the United States, in Louisiana, DG Fuel announces a long-term purchase agreement for SAF and carbon credits.
A first plant
In the U.S., DG Fuels will host the HydrogenPro renewable hydrogen technology for an initial production plant. The site will have the capacity to produce at least 839MW. Total purchases are within the initial minimum five-year term.
The combined contract for the purchase of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and carbon credits exceeds $4 billion. Richard Espeseth, interim CEO and founder of HydrogenPro, states:
“DG Fuels’ award of 120 million gallons of annual volume is of great significance to HydrogenPro. We were selected as the electrolysis equipment supplier for this massive project, and we look forward to continuing to play an active global role in decarbonizing the future.”
A challenge for the future
Delivery of SAF and carbon credits under the agreement is expected to begin in late 2026 or early 2027. Using SAF can reduce emissions by an average of 80% compared to conventional fuel. In addition, it offers airlines operational benefits in addition to its environmental contributions.
HydrogenPro is a technology company and OEM for high pressure alkaline electrolyzers. The company provides large-scale renewable hydrogen plants. In addition, these plants are certified ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001.
