Will Kit Carson show the way in green hydrogen, too?
Luis Reyes Jr., CEO of Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, is spearheading a groundbreaking green hydrogen project in northern New Mexico, aiming to utilize the now-closed molybdenum mine in Questa. With the help of a $96.5 million federal grant, Reyes plans to build a green hydrogen facility that will use renewable electricity to power an electrolyzer, producing hydrogen from water extracted from the abandoned mine.
