The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously approved a motion to move forward with the the conversion of the gas-fired Scattergood Generating Station near El Segundo to hydrogen, according to a vote record posted on the city’s website.
Subsequent coverage in the Los Angeles Times states that the city has plans to converting additional regional gas facilities — Harbor and Haynes and Valley Generating Station – into hydrogen-fueled peaking power stations.
Environmentalists have grouped to oppose the plan based on expressed climate and safety concerns.
