Creating a more sustain- able electric grid is still a ways off as grid operator ISO New England reported in 2022 that 46% of the electricity generated for the region came from natural gas. Yet, the changes coming to the Mass. portion of the grid are mandatory. "ese are legally binding and they're going to require significant electrifica- tion of the transportation and building sectors," Michael Judge, undersecretary of energy for Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, said at the Mass Energy Summit in May, hosted by WBJ. One area that can reduce greenhouse gasses is hydrogen production. By tying electrolyzers to renewable sources like solar panels, Electric Hydrogen is pushing technology forward. Now it needs to begin building its product. at's where Devens comes in. The advantages of Devens Devens has the power supply Electric Hydrogen needs to test its machines and is close enough to the research and devel- opment at the company's Natick to make construction easy. Plus, it's is near Boston, where the company feels it can find the talent it needs on the engineering side. Electric Hydrogen's planned Devens building is "very much configured in a way that was advantageous for us to start over operations rather quickly," said Santi- ago Rojas-Carbonell, the project manager for the Devens factory. e factory in Devens gives the company a chance to fill its first orders for electrolyzer. e facility will be operational by the end of the year. "We're definitely taking a very aggres- sive approach to ramp up our factory." Rojas-Carbonell said. "Our factory in Devons will have a capacity to produce 1.2 gigs worth of electrolyzers per year." Electric Hydrogen is trying to win a race to make hydrogen more efficient, cheaper, and cleaner. e U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the U.S. Department of Energy has $750 million in funding available for clean hydrogen technologies. ere's money to be made in the sector.
