Water scarcity and clean energy collide in South Texas as Avina Clean Hydrogen buys the last water in the Nueces River to make hydrogen and ammonia for export.
A New Jersey -based chemical company has bought the last available water supply from the Nueces River of South Texas , raising concerns of regional scarcity as reservoirs dwindle and drought persists. Avina Clean Hydrogen Inc. ’s Nueces Green Ammonia plant plans to separate hydrogen from water, convert it to ammonia and export it as a high-tech fuel alternative to oil and gas. It’s one of several such projects currently proposed in Texas, driven by federal subsidies.
Texas energy companies counting on hydrogen to become cleaner fuel for transportation But those plants haven’t materialized. Meanwhile, the new industrial customers have ramped up operations while a multiyear drought bore down. Local residents have been under water-use restrictions for more than 600 days as reservoirs have fallen below one-third full. Although Corpus Christi holds rights to the vast majority of Nueces River water, it doesn’t hold them all, as it was recently reminded.
