Description

The facility is located in the heart of California’s Mojave Desert — where the weather is reliably dry and sunny. Heliogen’s Lancaster testing and demonstration facility harvests concentrated sunlight to produce the renewable energy required to rival the fossil fuels used in heavy industry.

Since 2019, Heliogen has used this facility to implement demo and testing protocols.

In 2021, it demonstrated green hydrogen production capabilities with Bloom electrolyzer.
