Mote’s second biomass to hydrogen and carbon sequestration plant in partnership with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Upon completion, the facility would produce approximately 21,000 metric tons per year (MTPY) of carbon-negative hydrogen for use in thermal power generation and transportation. The plant would also sequester over 450,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. The project can utilize up to 300,000 MTPY of forest residues and wood waste from regional forest management programs, such as those in the Sierra Nevadas. The project is similar to Mote’s first project near Bakersfield. Using gasification, Mote can process woody waste from farms, forestry, and urban sources. The remaining carbon dioxide from the process is captured and placed underground in saline aquifers for storage. Mote’s hydrogen has a carbon intensity score at -150 gCO2/MJ.
