First State Hydrogen, Inc. is now Aternium!
Aternium was founded in 2023 with a very clear vision: to provide affordable and profitable clean hydrogen for American energy independence. Beginning in 2024, started laying the ground work for our first 60MW electrolysis facility powered by 100% renewable energy.
Locating our first plant in Delaware was an easy decision for Aternium. Though a small state, Delaware imports 80 times more energy than it produces. Yet the greater Mid-Atlantic region has the assets and resources that makes the region an obvious choice for future producers of clean energy:
By leveraging these assets, hydrogen producers like us can drive clean energy independence for the Mid-Atlantic and help the region meet its sustainability goals.
As an anchor partner of the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) - one of 7 national hubs selected for an award by the US Department of Energy - Aternium is actively aligning its vision with that of MACH2 and looking forward to participating in building a broader hydrogen ecosystem. The goal of both MACH2 and Aternium is to connect a network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, distributors and value chain suppliers, ultimately lowering the costs of hydrogen to enable clean energy for all. MACH2 will also leverage existing pipeline infrastructure strengths for a robust hydrogen transportation system.
