Description

Heliogen plans to set up a commercial hydrogen generation facility in Lancaster, California.

The project will incorporate Heliogen’s steam and green hydrogen solutions to produce and supply fuel-grade hydrogen (FCEV fuel grade based on SAE-J2719) for sale to hydrogen off-takers.

Located in Antelope Valley in the western Mojave Desert, the City of Lancaster provides ideal conditions for concentrated solar installations. The project is on a total of 120 acres with electrical transmission, road infrastructure and water rights on site. Situated a short drive from the Los Angeles metropolitan area, this installation offers proximity to a growing market for green hydrogen.

The site will consist of a concentrated solar thermal system, plus solar PV field to supply carbon-free electricity for green hydrogen production.
