The California Energy Commission has awarded SoCalGas a $750,000 grant to pursue development of a novel hydrogen production system using biogas to create affordable, scalable, renewable hydrogen. The project will build upon innovations in modular hydrogen production technology to create a system powered by renewable electricity that can use renewable gas such as biogas from landfills, wastewater treatment plants or dairy farms as a feedstock to produce low cost clean hydrogen. Additionally, the system will produce hydrogen at a lower temperature, without needing combustion, thereby eliminating nitrogen oxide emissions. The project expects to develop a bench-scale demonstration that is both modular and scalable, offering a flexible means of creating renewable hydrogen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoCalGas is at the forefront of hydrogen innovation as we look to decarbonize California through the use of clean fuels,\u201d said Neil Navin<\/strong>, SoCalGas Vice President, Clean Energy Innovations. \u201cWe are thankful for the CEC\u2019s continued efforts to support technology and innovation to scale-up hydrogen production. This project will help us get that much closer to net zero by developing a method to create affordable, renewable hydrogen at scale to bring down prices and provide an important tool to help us reduce carbon emissions.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWe continue to advance low-carbon hydrogen production for targeted, hard-to-electrify end use applications that support a clean energy economy. Technologies such as those being explored by SoCalGas are an important step towards decarbonizing hydrogen,” said Jonah Steinbuck<\/strong>, deputy director of the CEC’s Research and Development Division.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to lower costs of producing renewable hydrogen to $1.39 per kilogram, comparable to the cost of producing hydrogen via more conventional means, while also reducing emissions up to 95%. When powered by renewable electricity, the system will produce low-carbon or carbon-negative hydrogen and capture all the carbon dioxide co-product for use in feedstock, CO2-based fuels, microalgae fuels and products and concrete building materials. The demonstration system will be designed to produce 5 kilograms of hydrogen per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is being developed in partnership with hydrogen and low-carbon technology pioneers Susteon, Inc., and Build Momentum, Inc., which specializes in administering and managing grant-funded energy innovation projects. Testing of the system is expected to begin in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we announced our aspiration to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions<\/a> in our operations and the energy we deliver by 2045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, we announced a proposal to develop Angeles Link<\/a>, a green hydrogen energy infrastructure system that could deliver clean, reliable energy to the Los Angeles basin to provide a path to decarbonize heavy industries that require clean fuels and cannot currently be electrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoCalGas’ research has shown<\/a> that clean fuels like hydrogen can help California achieve its net zero goals more affordably and resiliently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, we have more than 10 active hydrogen pilot projects. More information about our hydrogen innovation can be found at http:\/\/socalgas.com\/hydrogen<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
