The recently announced memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the California city and Heliogen is expected to result in the creation of a green hydrogen generation facility in Lancaster.
California-based renewable energy tech company Heliogen will provide the technology, develop, build and operate the project as well as be an equity partner for the city’s green hydrogen generation facility. The objective is for the clean H2 facility to support the City of Lancaster’s vision of becoming a model for hydrogen production in America.Heliogen uses concentrating solar power systems to change sunlight into steam, heat, power, and green H2. The new collaboration is anticipated to accelerate the use of solar thermal energy for a commercial green hydrogen generation facility. This recent partnership builds on the current relationship between Heliogen and the City of Lancaster, which demonstrated a test facility in Lancaster in 2019.
In a press release announcing the MOU, the mayor of the City of Lancaster, R. Rex Parris, said that together with Heliogen, “we will accelerate the city’s net-zero vision and expand our hydrogen capabilities throughout the greater Los Angeles region, which could support the ARCHES hydrogen hub proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy.” Hydrogen Fuel News - link - Tami Hood - link - more like this (H2 fuel) - link - more like this (California) - link
