The Wyoming House of Representatives is poised to hear a bill that would give half a million dollars to a state-funded study on how data centers and hydrogen projects might sap or impact the state’s water supply. That’s after the House Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources Committee advanced House Bill 90 by an 8-1 vote Thursday morning in Cheyenne, sending it to the House floor for full debate. If it becomes law, it would give $500,000 to the Wyoming State Engineer to conduct a study on large-scale industrial water use by data centers, carbon capture, or other large-scale industrial projects. It would include projects that remove water from the water cycle, and electrolysis, plasma dissociation, thermochemical splitting, chemical dissociation of water into its elemental components, and using water as feedstock for hydrogen fuel production or other chemical compounds.
