Air Force Initiates Geologic Hydrogen Feasibility Study at Malmstrom and McConnell AFBs
HYDROGENNATURAL GASDEFENSE
The U.S. Air Force, through the Civil Engineer Center's Office of Energy Assurance, has contracted Renaissance Philanthropy to conduct a feasibility study on geologic hydrogen near Malmstrom AFB, Montana, and McConnell AFB, Kansas.
The eight-month initiative will assess production capacity, costs, and infrastructure requirements to evaluate geologic hydrogen as a potential energy resource. This effort aims to reduce reliance on natural gas and diesel fuel, contributing to energy resilience and diversity at military installations.
