Energy project "50 by 50" has begun to launch one after another.

Functions as an energy hub for the global economy [5th in total energy production in the United States].

West Virginia serves as an energy hub for both the national and global economy. The state ranks fifth in the nation for total energy production. West Virginia is the second-largest coal producer in the country and the seventh-largest natural gas producer. Renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric power and wind energy, account for 4.6% of the state's net electricity generation. West Virginia is located in the heart of the Appalachian Basin, where abundant natural gas is stored in the Marcellus, Rogersville, and Utica shale formations. Its convenient location is ideal for companies looking to be close to natural gas storage fields, gathering lines, and transmission lines. West Virginia was one of the first states in the region to establish clear rules to protect the interests of the environment, landowners, and industry, creating a framework for drilling regulations.

One of the seven hydrogen hubs (H2HUB) being established across the United States, ARHC2! Clean hydrogen hub.

Introducing the case of the Appalachian Hydrogen Hub "ARHC2," which spans the states of West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (Headquarters: Morgantown, WV). At ARHC2, hydrogen will be produced from the vast natural gas reserves lying in the Appalachian region. Hydrogen pipelines, multiple hydrogen stations, and CO2 permanent storage sites will be constructed. The reason for selection is its strategic location, being part of a major industrial hub in the United States, a transportation nexus, and rich in natural gas, making it one of the seven regions chosen from 23 finalists. 【Case Overview】 ■ Employment: 21,000 people (18,000 construction jobs / 3,000 permanent jobs) ■ Maximum investment amount: US$925 million ■ Production site locations within WV (10 sites across 5 counties): Kanawha, Brooke, Wood, Mason, Marion ■ Hydrogen production volume: 3 million tons annually for the H2 Hub *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The Appalachian region has been inhabited by Native Americans since ancient times, but European settlement began in the 1700s, primarily by Germans, Scots, and Irish who moved from Pennsylvania and Virginia. West Virginia was originally part of Virginia, but during the Civil War, the western part of the state, which opposed slavery, separated and became independent, becoming the 35th state of the United States on June 20, 1863. After independence, the state benefited from the Appalachian Mountains, and its economy developed due to the mineral resources produced there. The minerals produced at that time included coal, saltpeter, lime, and rock salt, with coal being particularly significant as it could be transported in large quantities by the railroads that developed after the Civil War, supplying the entire nation. Today, in addition to coal, the extraction of natural gas and shale gas is actively taking place, contributing to the state's economy.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
