Action Packet Addendum — Commerce Committee (November 14, 2023)
Summary
This is the Addendum to the Commerce Committee action packet for the meeting on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. It states that hydrogen colors correlate to the energy source and the molecule being broken down, and it covers Gray Hydrogen, Blue Hydrogen, Pink Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen. It states that as the price of both renewable energy and electrolyzers decrease, green hydrogen has the greatest potential for cost savings for customers. It also states that FPL's clean hydrogen pilot consists of five electrolyzers, a hydrogen storage facility and piping infrastructure, and that the FPL Cavendish NextGen Hydrogen Hub is expected to be operational by the end of this year.

First 10 years of operations aim to maximize operational and
technology knowledge and support NextEra Energy's
industry leadership
► Pilot project will:
» Help us learn about the resources used and
electrolyzer performance.
» Be complementary to FPL's existing portfolio of
natural gas, solar, nuclear and battery storage.
» Be good for our customers and good for Florida.
► The FPL Cavendish NextGen Hydrogen
Hub is expected to be operational by the
end of this year.
