This inexperienced hydrogen facility will ultimately be powered by photo voltaic PV, and with proton trade membrane electrolysis (PEM) know-how provided by Ingeteam, at full capability the plant might be able to producing as much as three tons of inexperienced hydrogen per day.
The electrolyser will obtain direct present from an influence station with two rectifiers developed and manufactured by Ingeteam.
“Within the quest for a greener power transition, SoHyCal represents a cornerstone in California’s dedication to growing and selling clear and sustainable hydrogen gasoline applied sciences. The undertaking is poised to considerably contribute to the surging demand for hydrogen, notably for transportation purposes, the discount of emissions and the decarbonization in mobility,” stated Pedro Pajares, CEO of H2B2 USA.
SoHyCal manufacturing and scale
SoHyCal is its first operational section, producing as much as one ton of inexperienced hydrogen per day powered by biogas. Within the second section of the undertaking, which is anticipated to be developed within the coming months, H2B2 will incorporate a photovoltaic energy plant on the adjoining land. It should transition to photo voltaic power in section two by Q2 2025. The plant’s annual hydrogen output will gasoline as much as 210,000 automobiles per yr or 30,000 metropolis buses.
SoHyCal was financed partially by a a $3.96 million grant from the California Power Fee (CEC) Clear Transportation Program. The plant serves Hydrogen Refueling Stations within the San Joaquin Valley and the San Francisco Bay Space.
“This undertaking is essential for Ingeteam, as it’s our first undertaking in North America and confirms our agency international dedication to inexperienced hydrogen,” stated Harkaitz Ibaiondo, director of Ingeteam’s inexperienced hydrogen enterprise unit.
