A public information meeting is being held to share plans for a proposed hydrogen liquefaction plant at 100 Forester Road in Maplewood.
Hydrogen Technology and Energy Corporation (HTEC) has applied to develop a hydrogen liquefaction plant on the southwest portion of an existing 19-acre industrial site occupied by an ERCO Worldwide manufacturing facility in Maplewood. The proposed hydrogen plant would capture, purify, and liquefy the hydrogen that is a by-product of the manufacturing activities already being conducted on the site. The liquefied hydrogen can be used to power zero emission fuel cell electric vehicles.
The proposed hydrogen plant would occupy 5.7 acres on the southwest corner of a larger 19 acre industrial site in Maplewood. An ERCO Worldwide manufacturing facility is already located. There is existing industrial development on the east, west, and north sides, and a treed berm and tidal mudflats to the south.
The public information meeting is held on Thursday, April 27, from 5 pm to 6:30 pm at Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School Gymnasium. A virtual public information meeting opens on April 20 at 8 am, and residents can share their thoughts or ask questions about the proposal from April 20 to May 4.
Construction is expected to start in 2025, and the facility will be full operational in 2026. Changes to traffic through the site will be minimal, the proponents say, and the site will be operated 24/7, with approximately 4 HTEC employees on-site during regular weekday hours and maintenance staff on a recurring basis.
