CPS Energy’s hydrogen pilot aims to boost grid reliability


US electric utility CPS Energy has partnered with cleantech startup Modern Hydrogen to produce clean hydrogen from natural gas, aiming to improve grid reliability and reduce emissions.

The solid carbon is captured and can be reused in products like asphalt for infrastructure projects.

CPS Energy described the effort as a first step in a long-term strategic investment in producing reliable, cleaner power at scale, as outlined in its Energy Vision 2027.
