    Pipeline firm DT Midstream and Mitsubishi Power Americas have signed a strategic joint development agreement to establish clean hydrogen energy development projects across the US.

    The firms will integrate Mitsubishi Power’s power generation and hydrogen technologies and DT Midstream’s energy infrastructure development and operational expertise. The firms will focus on production, storage, transportation and the use of hydrogen and other commodities. Hydrogen will be provided in a liquefied or compressed form for power generation, transport, fertilizer manufacturing, steelmaking and more.

    The firms will use the Hydaptive hydrogen package from Mitsubishi Power, which integrates hydrogen, gas turbines and other energy storage technologies. DT Midstream will leverage its assets, like storage systems and pipelines for gas delivery.

     “Our goal with DT Midstream is to make clean, affordable hydrogen widely available for power generation and other sectors,” said David Hunt, Mitsubishi Power Americas' Senior Vice President of New Generation Systems Sales and Commercial Operations. “This collaboration will add to the ‘hub and spoke’ hydrogen infrastructure we have been creating with partnerships throughout North America.” 

    Hydrogen does not burn carbon emissions but also is not produced or mined like natural gas (methane) or oil. To be truly "green" or clean hydrogen, it is created by electroyzers (separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water) which would be powered by clean energy resources such as utility-scale wind or solar.

    DT Midsteam is a recently spun off unit from Detroit-based utility DTE Energy.
