Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking nearly $8.9 billion worth of industrial projects under construction in Utah. The projects vary in size and cost, ranging from airport renovations to solar farms, as well as many other sectors. Some of the state's largest projects involve either the production or consumption of hydrogen, demonstrating Utah's progress in moving through the energy-transition era.
Perhaps Utah's most cutting-edge project that is currently underway is the construction of a green hydrogen plant in Delta. ACES Delta LLC (Delta) kicked off construction on its Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES) project earlier this year, with Black & Veatch (Overland Park, Kansas) providing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. The facility will use electrolysis to produce 100 million tons per day of green hydrogen. The plant is expected to begin production in 2025.
Magnum Energy Midstream Holdings (Holladay, Utah), also part of the ACES project, is presently constructing hydrogen storage caverns nearby. The project entails establishing two caverns, each 1,200 feet tall and 220 feet in diameter, with the tops of the caverns 3,500-4,100 feet below ground level. The caverns are expected to be completed before the green hydrogen plant begins production. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence Chemical Processing and Terminals project databases can learn more by viewing the project reports on the hydrogen-production facility and storage caverns.
The hydrogen storage caverns are located near an under-construction power plant that will use hydrogen in its fuel mix. Intermountain Power Agency (South Jordan, Utah) in 2021 kicked off construction of the power plant that will be fueled by hydrogen and natural gas, also employing Black & Veatch for EPC services. The 840-megawatt (MW) plant is being established next to a coal-fired power plant, power from which will be replaced by the new plant. The turbines initially will be able to burn a mix of 30% hydrogen and 70% natural gas. According to news media, the plan is to increase the facility's hydrogen consumption to 100% by 2045, which will require upgrading and replacing turbines. The facility is expected to be completed in 2025, around the same time as the ACES green hydrogen-production project.

While the use hydrogen in a power plant's fuel mix represents progress toward transitioning toward cleaner energy, Utah's Power Industry is launching other green projects, including five solar power projects that are under construction, ranging from 40 to 120 MW. Among these is AES Corporation's (NYSE:AES) (Arlington, Virginia) Glen Canyon solar plant in Kanab, in the south of state near the Arizona border. Construction began earlier this year and involves placement of more than 224,000 Jinko solar modules. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Like the Power Industry, many paper products companies are aiming to go greener, this time in the use of recycled fibers. Among the facilities being constructed in the U.S. that will use recycled fiber pulp is Crossroads Paper LLC's (Salt Lake City) grassroot mill in Salt Lake City, which is nearing completion. When finished, the plant will begin ramping up to production of about 350,000 tons per year of recycled packaging and mixed paper products. In a news release, Matthew Day of investment firm Peterson Partners said the firm believes the mill will become "a critical piece of the recycling, packaging and e-commerce infrastructure of the West."

One of Utah's largest projects has been underway since 2015: the redevelopment of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Older buildings have been demolished, and a 1.7 million-square-foot building consisting of 3 terminals and 72 airport gates is arising. The project also entails construction of a 3,600-space parking garage. The project will help meet increasing passenger capacity, which is expected to rise to 22 million passengers per year in the future. After more than nine years of construction, the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

Utah also shows off its modern-day chops with a series of Pharmaceutical-Biotech projects. In Salt Lake City, Cytiva (Marlborough, Massachusetts) is constructing a four-story, 60,000-square-foot building at its campus that will allow for production of the company's single-use AKTA flow kits, a liquid chromatography system designed for the purification of biomolecules, as well as culture media products. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Pharmaceutical-Biotech Project Database can click here to learn more.
