Wentzville Hydrogen Hub

Project Highlights

Situated at 1149 Mexico Road in Wentzville, Missouri, this state-of-the-art facility produces 350 tons per year of low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen for industrial users.

Producing on a small scale, BayoTech makes hydrogen much more efficiently and with a smaller carbon footprint than large centralized production plants.

By making hydrogen more accessible, communities that are prioritizing the phasing out of fossil fuel use can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and generate opportunities for new emerging transformational technologies faster than ever before.

Community Partnerships

We’re partnering with Ranken Technical College to develop programs that provide innovative training to equip the future workforce with the skills needed to support the hydrogen industry.

BayoTech is currently engaging communities across the country and sharing results and safety data with local elected officials and first responders to ensure that each community benefits from our hydrogen hubs.

We sponsor STEM education programs at local schools, so the next generation can learn about hydrogen and fuel cells first hand.

Safety is Our Top Priority

Hydrogen is not new. It has been safely produced, stored, transported and used in the U.S. for the past 50 years.

Hydrogen’s unique properties contribute to its safety:

Hydrogen is nontoxic and nonpoisonous. Spills do not contaminate the environment.
Hydrogen dissipates rapidly when it is released. It does not pool on the ground where it could be ignited.
Hydrogen flames have low radiant heat and are less likely to spread.

Hydrogen tanks are designed to withstand crashes, drop tests, fire, and ballistic testing. If an issue occurs, safety systems quickly ventilate the hydrogen.

Hydrogen systems are designed to prevent leakage. If a leak is detected, sensors automatically shut off the flow of hydrogen.

Firefighters and first responders are trained in how to respond to incidents involving hydrogen.

Regulations, codes, standards, and design practices have been established to enable the safe use of hydrogen.
