In Pennsylvania, CNX Resources Corp., KeyState Energy and Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) announced a collaboration to accelerate regional and national hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel development. The integrated facility can produce hydrogen solely, reaching up to 68,000 metric tons annually, or SAF exclusively, up to 70 million gallons per year. The plant will offer the flexibility to produce both products simultaneously, CNX said. KeyState and CNX recently signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to advance the approximately $1.5 billion project that could potentially support 3,000 direct construction jobs through the development phase. The partners are evaluating several potential market targets for the usage of SAF in the aviation industry and clean hydrogen for local heavy trucks and equipment, and power generation, among other applications for hard-to-abate sectors of the economy. KeyState serves as project developer and, with its development partners, will secure project financing while CNX will provide feedstock services and other technical engineering support to the project. The airport will provide strategic advisory planning and industry expertise.
