April 19 (Reuters) - Chemical maker Chemours Co said on Wednesday it has partnered with TC Energy Corp to develop two clean hydrogen production facilities in West
Virginia.
Clean hydrogen, made using renewable energy to power
electrolyzers to convert water, is being backed by many
governments for vehicles and energy plants, but it is currently
too expensive for widespread use.
The facilities would be located at or near Chemours'
Washington Works and Belle manufacturing sites in West Virginia,
the company said.
The agreement covers the companies' interest in developing,
constructing and operating clean hydrogen production facilities
and associated infrastructure.
