据《能源年》8月19日俾斯麦报道，清洁能源基础设施开发商巴肯能源(Bakken energy)周一宣布，该公司已达成协议，将收购一家合成燃料工厂，并将其改造成美国最大的低成本蓝色氢生产设施。
巴肯将收购位于北达科他州Beulah的大平原合成燃料厂（Great Plains Synfuels），该工厂由美国北新电力合作集团（Basin Electric Power Cooperative）拥有。 该交易预计将于2023年4月完成。
该设施将作为一个价值20亿美元的氢枢纽中心的基地，该枢纽年产能约31万吨。 预计将于2026年开始生产氢。
今年6月，巴肯与三菱电力美洲公司（Mitsubishi Power Americas）签署了合作该项目的协议。
