H” is for hydrogen, the lightest element, and the element that bears the atomic number 1. And for Alan Alexander it’s quickly rising toward “Number 1” in his energy transition practice.
Alexander, a partner at Vinson & Elkins in Houston, has developed an intimate familiarity with H and its molecular form H2. So much so that he’s the lead author for a white paper that outlines both the potential and the potential pitfalls in an industry-wide effort to produce cleaner forms of hydrogen across the refining process, as well as uses for the highly combustible element as its own clean power source.
“The problem is that hydrogen is more of an energy carrier than an energy source,” said Alexander in a chat with The Texas Lawbook. “Where fossil fuels are extracted, hydrogen has to be produced, and it’s that production process that leaves a carbon footprint.”
Hydrogen has long been an important element in the Texas energy firmament, particularly in the refining and production of petrochemicals and fertilizers. And while its production results in a major contribution to CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, Alexander believes that the relation to ordinary fossil fuel production is exactly why new technologies like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) are driving a growing Texas leadership in energy transition.
“The beauty of CCS is that it’s not so far afield from what they do well,” Alexander said. “It’s a process that is evolving — and like most energy transition — needs to evolve over time.”

Alexander says his expertise with hydrogen came via traditional contract work in the energy business. Developing that knowledge came as a result of due diligence work on industrial gas contracts for plants producing ammonia products and fertilizers.
“When you’re a young associate you get some of the work no one else wants to do,” Alexander explained. “Those contracts used very industry-specific language, and part of my job became understanding the molecule — what it’s used for and how it’s made.”
Alexander views “clean” hydrogen production as promising. Incentives created under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) he says are making it attractive for companies to create scalable technologies, particularly in CSS, but that some more ambitious claims for hydrogen remain aspirational from a practical point of view.
While hydrogen holds tantalizing possibilities for industrial use – like utility-grade battery storage and the cleaner production of “carbon black” for use in steel fabrication, it is CCS that is provoking major movement among the largest energy providers.
Data from Corporate Deal Tracker reveals three large-scale deals for carbon capture technology in 2023 — all of them linked to larger-scale production processes that are gaining momentum in Texas M&A.
- Last year, in Port Arthur, Chevron and its partners, including Talos Energy and Carbonvert, announced an offshore hub for carbon sequestration storage in the Gulf of Mexico. In March, the project — known as Bayou Bend CCS — was expanded to include more than 100,000 acres in Chambers and Jefferson Counties.
- In June, NextDecade announced that its Rio Grande LNG production project would include a major CCS project, as well.
- And in July, ExxonMobil announced its $4.9 billion all-stock acquisition of Plano-based Denbury Inc., a developer of carbon capture, utilization and storage solutions.
Alexander doesn’t see low-carbon hydrogen production as a simple solution for carbon-based fuels; but he does see it as a useful tool for broader goals aimed at reducing some of the most invidious effects of fossil fuels while we figure out newer, cleaner, more economic and scalable technologies.
“But energy companies need to continue to do what they do well to make sure that we can still turn on a light with a switch,” Alexander says.
Thanks to seven capital markets transactions valued at $5 billion, the week ending September 23 produced 23 total transactions valued at $6.4 billion. The 16 M&A and funding deals clocked a reported aggregate value of $1.4 billion. While that’s a bit better than the 18 deals for $5.2 billion this time last year, it falls pretty short of the 25 transactions for $23.2 billion just last week.
