Frequently asked questions
How does water use compare to other traditional methods?
The project is designed to use significantly less water than traditional crops. In areas with water restrictions, leasing for a green hydrogen project is an ideal solution. Hydrogen production uses as low as 2.4 gallons per kg of H, or on a property that is around 250 acres, water usage is less than 0.3 ac-ft/acre of land annually.
How will I be paid?
Typically, there is an option period of three to five years in which you will be paid a fixed amount annually. If the project advances to the lease term, you will be paid rent based on the total acreage used each year for 25-40 years. The amount and frequency will be detailed in the lease agreement.
What does a green hydrogen project system look like on my property?
The hydrogen plant includes a solar project and hydrogen storage facility. The solar panels are arranged in rows on metal racking, while the compact electrolyzer units are low-profile, designed for noise control. The site also has water supply tanks, filtration units, and hydrogen storage tanks (either horizontal or vertical, depending on capacity). If hydrogen powers local infrastructure, it may connect to the grid; for transport or industry, trucks will periodically pick up stored hydrogen. Foliage and fencing are used for safety, privacy, and visual appeal.
What are the steps of this process?
Once you sign an agreement to move forward, our team of land and environmental experts will perform due diligence on property records, utility connection land shape, permits, and environmental impact to ensure project readiness without local harm.
What happens when the lease ends?
At the end of the lease, your land will be restored to its original state. We will provide the necessary decommissioning bond to the permitting authority, ensuring site restoration.
What is the hydrogen used for?
The hydrogen produced on-site will be used for transportation purposes including electric trucks, buses, and light-duty vehicles. The hydrogen is converted into electricity in a device called a ‘fuel cell.’ The fuel cell combines the hydrogen with airborne oxygen and produces electricity and water.
