A 21st century vision

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.

Why the Mid-Atlantic?

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:

  • PEOPLE - with access to universities, technical colleges and workforce development organizations, the region not only has the capacity but also the capability to meet both current and future workforce development needs;
  • PLACE - situated on the I-95 corridor with close proximity to I-85 and access to rail, air and maritime transport, Aternium will be ideally located on a transportation crossroads with multiple transportation options;
  • POSSIBILITIES - the region's multiple end use applications, ranging from heavy industry to transportation and warehousing, provide endless opportunities for decarbonization.

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.

Partnering with MACH2

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.
