The Lancaster facility will have the capacity to produce 11,000 kg of green hydrogen per day. Operating 24/7, 8000 hours a year, it will generate 3.8 million kg (3800 tons) of green hydrogen per year.
That’s nearly three times larger than any other green hydrogen facility — built, under construction or in development within the decade. All other green hydrogen plants produce a much more expensive hydrogen through electrolysis of water using large amounts of intermittent renewable energy.
The Lancaster plant will process 40,000 tons of waste annually. The City of Lancaster will supply guaranteed feedstock of recyclable solid waste, saving the City between $50 to $75 per ton annually in landfilling and landfill space costs.
The largest owners and operators of hydrogen refueling stations in California are amongst the parties that have indicated interest in purchasing the full green hydrogen output of this project.
