11.07.2024 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

November 07, 2024 [Chemical Industry Digest]- Avina Clean Hydrogen to build a green hydrogen facility in the city of Vernon, ten miles from the Port of Long Beach, Southern California.

 

The green hydrogen project is a crucial milestone in Avina’s commitment to decarbonizing
heavy-duty transportation and advancing California’s clean energy targets.

Production Goals

The state-of-the-art facility aims to produce up to four tons per day (tpd) of compressed green hydrogen through electrolysis.

Using clean electricity, this process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating a sustainable hydrogen fuel source.

Once operational, Avina’s project will stand as one of the largest integrated hydrogen production and refuelling sites globally, offering essential infrastructure to replace diesel trucking with hydrogen-fueled alternatives.

Environmental Impact

Avina Clean Hydrogen estimates that the facility will help eliminate approximately 1,30,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year.

The reduction will significantly improve air quality in nearby communities. It will also contribute towards California’s broader efforts to combat air pollution and climate change.

Location Advantage

Vishal Shah, Founder and CEO, Avina Clean Hydrogen said, “Our facility’s strategic location in Southern California allows us to serve critical transportation corridors and urban markets, helping meet the growing demand for clean hydrogen across the region”.

Collaboration

Avina has partnered with FASTECH, a company known for developing reliable clean energy infrastructure.

“This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to drive innovation in clean energy solutions, creating a more sustainable future for mobility customers,” said Dan McGill, President and Founder of FASTECH.

On Track

With essential environmental permits already approved, construction of the Avina Clean Hydrogen facility is set to begin soon.

As reported by energyglobal.com, the project is expected to start commercial operations by July 2025. It will mark a significant step toward a cleaner, hydrogen-powered future for California.
