supplying BrightLoopTM hydrogen generation and decarbonization
technology and BrightGenTM combustion technology for groundbreaking
project
- Babcock & Wilcox subsidiary will provide
construction services

Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that
it has signed a teaming agreement with Newpoint Gas to serve as a
foundational technology partner, and provide advanced hydrogen
generation, decarbonization and combustion technologies for the
redevelopment of the former U.S. Department of Energy Portsmouth
Gaseous Diffusion Plant site near Piketon, Ohio.
B&W will supply its BrightLoopTM technology to produce
hydrogen and isolate carbon dioxide for storage and will supply a
steam generator utilizing the company’s BrightGenTM hydrogen
combustion technology to produce clean, near-zero emissions energy.
Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co., LLC will provide
construction and installation services.
When complete, the $1.51 billion h2Trillium Energy and
Manufacturing (h2TEAM) complex will operate as an integrated energy
decarbonized hydrogen and closed-loop manufacturing facility,
generating clean hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide for
long-term storage or beneficial use.
“We look forward to working with Newpoint and its partners on
this innovative and groundbreaking clean energy project,” said Joe
Buckler, B&W Senior Vice President of Clean Energy. “B&W is
a global leader in the clean energy revolution, and we’re excited
to lend our expertise and game-changing technologies to the h2TEAM
clean hydrogen and decarbonization project.”
“We appreciate Babcock & Wilcox and the opportunity to
develop the h2TEAM project. The addition of B&W builds on the
momentum for this project and sets the foundation for visionary
industries to continue to come together and bring several hundred
clean energy jobs to central Appalachia,” said Wiley Rhodes, CEO of
Newpoint Gas. “The reindustrialization of the PORTS facility not
only presents an enormous opportunity for industry, but also has a
chance to be the single most impactful driver of economic growth
and stability for this region in a generation.”
Newpoint launched the ATH2 Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub
initiative in March 2022. B&W, Newpoint and other technical
partners also intend to pursue an $8 billion Department of Energy
Hydrogen Hub grant (H2Hubs) to fund the project and additional
development.
B&W's flexible BrightLoop technology is part of its
ClimateBrightTM suite of clean energy technologies and can
accommodate a wide range of usable feedstocks, product outputs and
applications. It can convert a wide range of fuels, including
natural gas, coal, petcoke, methane, biomass, biogas, and other
industrial process off-gases and materials, into multiple products.
The BrightLoop system is highly scalable with benefits that can be
applied to a wide array of industrial processes to produce
hydrogen, syngas, and steam for power, processes and heating.
B&W’s proven and reliable BrightGen hydrogen combustion
technology produces no CO2 and has already been supplied to more
than 60 industrial water-tube boilers firing hydrogen and
hydrogen-blended fuels. BrightGen technology is applicable to new
installations or can be retrofit to existing equipment to fire
hydrogen efficiently and safely.
