Bismarck,
N.D. (AP) Can you really make hydrogen fuel from wind? It's being demonstrated
this afternoon near Minot.
The two (m) million-dollar wind-to-hydrogen
plant uses electricity from wind turbines to produce and store hydrogen.
It's a collaboration of Basin Electric
Power Cooperative ... the University of North Dakota's Energy and Environmental
Research Center ... North Dakota State University's North Central Research
Extension Center and other partners.
It will be dedicated today. Senator
Byron Dorgan will be on hand. He pushed for funding for the project for
about three years.
Basin spokesman Daryl Hill says the
hydrogen produced at the plant will be used to fuel three pickups and a
tractor. He says it's a first for North Dakota.
