Background

Syntex Industries signed an agreement with the city of Clarksville to construct a Hydrogen Power Plant, which will exceed USD 250 million in construction costs. The power plant, which will be the first “hydrogen hub” in Arkansas, will create over 100 full-time positions and was expected to break ground by the end of 2023, with limited power production ramping up in 2025. The new facility is expected to be completed in 2026. The hydrogen plant is expected to be built in phases. The first phase will be an investment of about $250 million based on a 50 MW capacity plant.[6] The project in the is likely to start life running wholly or mainly on fossil gas, possibly in a hydrogen blend, until cheap clean H2 becomes available.[3] As of June 2024, there have not been any further updates.
