Adams Fork Energy , LLC is developing an ammonia manufacturing facility in collaboration with the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe in Mingo County . The developers are also partnering with CNX Resources to provide natural gas feedstock and carbon sequestration services . Ammonia is a hydrogen carrier with many industrial applications and zero carbon emissions when combusted .
Once complete , the facility is expected to displace more than 2.7 million metric tons per year of CO2 equivalent . With construction anticipated to begin in 2024 , the Adams Fork facility would anchor the Appalachian Region Clean Hydrogen Hub — a project proposed to the U . S . Department of Energy .
“ This project honors our legacy as America ’ s energy powerhouse while keeping an eye on the future as we work to bring the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub to West Virginia . I applaud the cooperation it took to bring this project to Mingo County and look forward to seeing the benefits it brings to the community , economy and our energy security ,” says U . S . Senator Joe Manchin .
CNX President and CEO Nick Deiuliis says the project is accelerating America ’ s lower carbon energy and manufacturing future in the heart of Appalachia .
“ We ’ re excited to work alongside these like-minded partners to advance shared goals of improving lives in local communities and generating clean , Appalachian-sourced energy , all while forging a stronger , more sustainable Appalachian region for all its citizens ,” Deiuliis says .
