WV-DEP Hearing for Gas-Fired Plants Reveals Ammonia Plant was Axed
Last Thursday, MDN informed you about a public hearing scheduled for that day by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WV-DEP) for the Adams Fork Energy Project in Mingo County (see WV DEP In-Person Hearing Today for Ammonia/Power Plant Project). We now have coverage of what happened at the event. There were two main bits of news coming from the hearing: (1) The owner of the land where a much-ballyhooed ammonia plant would have been located, a plant that would turn natural gas into ammonia, is “off the table” and won’t get built. (2) Most of the people who attended, nearby residents, don’t want the two gas-fired power plants to be built there. Read More “WV-DEP Hearing for Gas-Fired Plants Reveals Ammonia Plant was Axed”
Friday afternoon, CNX Resources issued a press release to announce it is officially pulling out of the previously announced multi-billion-dollar clean ammonia manufacturing facility in southern West Virginia, part of the ARCH2 (Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub) project. Adams Fork Energy, Haldor Topsoe, and CNX announced the project in April with much fanfare (see 
You never know how Marcellus/Utica gas affects the entire country for the good. Here’s an interesting example. In April, the ARCH2 (Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub) project, the West Virginia-led effort to attract $1 billion of government funding for one of 6-10 regional hydrogen hubs, took a big leap forward with the announcement of a plan to build a “multi-billion-dollar” clean ammonia manufacturing facility in southern West Virginia (see 
The ARCH2 (Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub) project, the West Virginia-led effort to attract government funding for one of 6-10 regional hydrogen hubs, took a leap forward today with the announcement by Adams Fork Energy, Haldor Topsoe, and CNX Resources Corp. of a plan to build a “multi-billion-dollar” clean ammonia manufacturing facility in southern West Virginia. CNX will provide natural gas to the plant, tentatively scheduled to begin construction in 2024 in Mingo County, WV. The ammonia plant will be an “anchor project” in the ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub application currently under consideration by the U.S. Dept. of Energy.
