The California Energy Commission (CEC) announced the approval of funds for a grant of 3.96 million dolars to the project “Solar PV Hydrogen production plant in Central California“, SoHyCal, presented by H2B2, within the framework of the Alternative and Renewable Fuel & Vehicle Technology Program.
The project, promoted by H2B2, will be a pioneer in the world, from both technical and commercial point of view, and consists in the construction, financing and operation of a 100% renewable hydrogen production plant with PEM technology, with a nameplate capacity of up to 3,000 kg/day, using renewable energy from a photovoltaic plant.
It also involves storing the hydrogen in compressed gas, dispensing into tube-trailers up to 520 bar, and capability of injection of hydrogen blended with natural gas.
