H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, a world inexperienced hydrogen producer, started operations of SoHyCal, the largest inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing plant powered fully by renewable energy in North America thus far.
This inexperienced hydrogen facility will lastly be powered by photograph voltaic PV, and with proton commerce membrane electrolysis (PEM) experience supplied by Ingeteam, at full functionality the plant can be capable to produce as a lot as three tons of inexperienced hydrogen per day.
The electrolyzer will get hold of a direct presence from an affect station with two rectifiers developed and manufactured by Ingeteam.
“Throughout the quest for a greener energy transition, SoHyCal represents a cornerstone in California’s dedication to creating and promoting clear and sustainable hydrogen fuel utilized sciences. The enterprise is poised to significantly contribute to the surging demand for hydrogen, notably for transportation functions, the low cost of emissions, and the decarbonization in mobility,” talked about Pedro Pajares, CEO of H2B2 USA.
SoHyCal manufacturing and scale
SoHyCal is its first operational half, producing as a lot as one ton of inexperienced hydrogen per day powered by biogas. Throughout the second a part of the enterprise, which is predicted to be developed throughout the coming months, H2B2 will incorporate a photovoltaic power plant on the adjoining land. It ought to transition to photograph voltaic energy partially two by Q2 2025. The plant’s annual hydrogen output will fuel as a lot as 210,000 automobiles per 12 months or 30,000 metropolis buses.
SoHyCal was financed partly by a $3.96 million grant from the California Vitality Charge (CEC) Clear Transportation Program. The plant serves Hydrogen Refueling Stations throughout the San Joaquin Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.
“This enterprise is crucial for Ingeteam, because it’s our first enterprise in North America and confirms our company world dedication to inexperienced hydrogen,” talked about Harkaitz Ibaiondo, director of Ingeteam’s inexperienced hydrogen enterprise unit.
