In a monumental initiative poised to reshape Central Appalachia’s landscape, Newpoint Trillium Management, LLC, has announced its collaboration with TritenIAG, alongside Vista Projects, for the pioneering Trillium H2Power Project (tH2Power) in Pike County, Ohio. This visionary $1.6 billion venture aims to establish a state-of-the-art decarbonised clean hydrogen production, sustainable power generation, and closed-loop manufacturing complex on the grounds of the former DOE Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) near Piketon, Ohio.
A Vision for Sustainable Development and Community Revitalisation
The project heralds a significant stride towards sustainable industrial development and environmental stewardship in the region. With over a decade of meticulous planning and development, tH2Power is expected to create more than 1,900 jobs during its construction phase and inject over $346 million into the local economy. Furthermore, the long-term vision includes the addition of 237 operations and maintenance jobs, contributing nearly $200 million annually to the regional economy.

Strategically located on 250 acres of remediated land, tH2Power signifies a monumental leap towards sustainable industrial development and environmental conservation. Spearheaded by Newpoint Trillium Management in collaboration with Stephanie Howe and her team at Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, this project serves as the linchpin of the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative’s (SODI) comprehensive site reindustrialisation strategy.
Collaborative relationships foster successful results.
At the forefront of innovative clean energy solutions, tH2Power embodies a collective effort involving state, federal, and community leaders, alongside organised labour and globally recognised technology leaders, to ensure economic stability and prosperity for the region’s communities.
TritenIAG, the project’s latest partner, brings over 75 years of expertise in managing business-critical projects. Terence Easton, CEO of TritenIAG, expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting Newpoint Trillium’s visionary approach and the alignment of TritenIAG’s technical excellence with the project’s goals.
Rich Hamilton, CEO of Newpoint Trillium Management, LLC, underscored the transformative potential of the project, emphasising the strategic collaboration with TritenIAG and its impact on advancing clean energy and economic prosperity in Central Appalachia.
Strategic Location and Ambitious Projections
Situated strategically in Pike County, Ohio, the tH2Power complex capitalises on the county’s historical significance with government-owned facilities and robust energy infrastructure. The project aims to daily produce 500 metric tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen, 150 MW of power, 1,200 metric tonnes of ammonia, and 100 metric tonnes of silicon, not only advancing environmental sustainability but also enhancing economic viability and stimulating regional development.
