    Company Seeks to Lease New York Mineral & Pore Rights for Flat $10

    October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

    A company called Southern Tier CO2 to Clean Energy Solutions, based in Binghamton, NY (where MDN is located), is sending fliers to landowners in Broome, Tioga, and Chemung counties (along the border with Pennsylvania, where there is no doubt large amounts of Marcellus and Utica gas beneath the ground) inviting landowners to sign up for what appears to be an exciting opportunity to sell gas rights. The flier (below) and company website say the company plans to use carbon dioxide (CO2) to (a) store it underground, but also (b) use it to extract natural gas from underground and then (c) either sell the gas via pipeline or burn it to produce electricity. The technology envisioned is an alternative to fracking. Will it work? And, will it be profitable for landowners?

    Yesterday, officials with the Dept. of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and those involved with the West Virginia-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project held a virtual meeting discussing where the ARCH2 project stands and the long-term effects of the project in the communities near where the nodes of the hub will be located. In something of a surprise, a previously undisclosed but related planned facility by Air Liquide to provide hydrogen as a potential fuel source for long-haul trucking was mentioned during the meeting. The Air Liquide facility will be somewhere in the Pittsburgh region (on the PA side of the border).

    How MVP’s Latest Delay to 1Q24 Affects Project’s Partners, Customers

    October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

    Last week, MDN brought you the news that the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) will not be completely done and online until sometime in the first quarter of 2024 (see Equitrans Admits the Obvious – MVP Won’t be Online Until 2024). In addition to this further delay, Equitrans, the company building MVP, said the cost has gone up again — to $7.2 billion. Equitrans is not the only owner (investor) in MVP. How does this latest delay affect Equitrans, its partners, and its customers?

    PA Republican Legislators “All-In” on Regional Hydrogen Hubs

    October 25, 2023October 25, 2023
    Senator Camera Bartolotta, R-Washington, speaks in support of hydrogen hub development in Pennsylvania on October 24, 2023 at the State Capitol.

    Five Pennsylvania Republican State Senators held a press conference yesterday at the State Capitol in Harrisburg to proclaim their love and support for hydrogen projects in light of the recent Biden Hydrogen Hub Hunger Games announcement. As we’ve been covering for over a week, seven projects were selected to receive a collective $7 billion in funding from the Bidenistas, including the WV-led Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project (see Hydrogen Hub Winners Announced – WV Takes Prize in M-U Region). Pennsylvania will get a small (but meaningful) piece of the action as part of ARCH2. PA will also participate in a second hydrogen hub project — the Delaware-led Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) project. The Republican Senators like PA’s prospects for both ARCH2 and MACH2.

    TVA Proposes Adding 6 Peaker Gas Units (200 MW) Near Memphis

    October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

    The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally-owned electric utility corporation in the U.S. TVA’s service area covers all of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small areas of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. TVA is the sixth-largest power supplier and the largest public utility in the U.S. Two years ago, MDN told you that TVA is spending over $1 billion to replace six coal-fired plants with natgas-fired turbines (see TVA Investing $1B to Build New Natgas-Fired Electric Plants). We’re not sure if this is part of that $1 billion effort, but earlier this month, TVA posted a notice in the Federal Register with a plan to build six new gas-fired peaker (on-demand) units at the existing Allen Combustion Turbine (ACT) site, located in Shelby County, Tennessee, about five miles southwest of the City of Memphis.

    IEO 2023 Predicts Fossil Fuels Provide 70% of World Energy in 2050

    October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

    A few weeks ago, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued its annual International Energy Outlook for 2023. The last time we highlighted this report was in 2021. At that time the EIA (even though controlled by the Bidenistas) predicted that by 2050 the world’s energy supplies will still mostly come from fossil fuels — some 70% from fossil energy, to be exact (see Biden EIA Predicts Fossil Fuels Provide 70% of World Energy in 2050). The Bidenistas have made it much harder to locate a similar breakdown in this latest report, but we’ve done it. And guess what? The ratio is still the same! EIA says by 2050, 70% of all the world’s energy will come from fossil fuels. Surprised? We aren’t.
