An Indian chemical company, Avina Clean Hydrogen Inc., has purchased the last available #water supply from the Nueces River of South #Texas, raising concerns as reservoirs dwindle and drought persists.

Maybe we should be requiring these companies to make hydrogen from sea water.

“…Avina’s Nueces Green Ammonia plant plans to separate the hydrogen from water, convert it to ammonia and export it as a high-tech fuel alternative to oil and gas. It’s one of several such projects currently proposed in Texas, driven by federal subsidies. Governments and scientists say this technology plays an important role in the transition away from fossil fuels.

But officials in the nearby city of Corpus Christi have warned that the project could threaten the water supply for more than 600,000 regional customers.”

“…Avina is one of at least 30 hydrogen and ammonia projects currently proposed in Texas, according to data from the Environmental Integrity Project, following federal legislation that laid out financial incentives for fossil fuel alternatives, aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses.”
