In May 2024, Element Resources announced the signing of a surface lease agreement with Rio Tinto at the Rio Tinto U.S. Borax mine site in Boron, California, which will be used for the development of a green hydrogen production facility powered by a dedicated, co-located off-grid solar electric generation facility. Element Resources will have an… Continue reading Element | Rio Tinto GH2 Production Facility
In April 2024, Fortera opened its Redding ReCarb Plant, an industrial green cement and carbon mineralization facility. Located in Redding, California, the plant captures CO2 emitted during cement production and permanently sequesters it by mineralizing the CO2 into ready-to-use cement. The facility is built to capture 6,600 tons of CO2 and produce 15,000 tons of… Continue reading Fortera | Redding ReCarb Plant

The study will be conducted at the Port of… Continue reading CALAMCO | Clean Ammonia Bunkering Demo
Chevron New Energies, a division of Chevron U.S.A. is developing a 5-megawatt hydrogen production project in California’s Central Valley. The project aims to create lower carbon energy by utilizing solar power, land, and non-potable produced water from Chevron’s existing assets at the Lost Hills Oil Field in Kern County. This low carbon intensity (LCI) electrolytic… Continue reading Chevron | Central Valley Solar-to-Hydrogen Project
In August, 2023, CRC applied for a Class VI permit for 17 million MT for the CTV V CO2 reservoir in the Sacramento Basin.
A carbon sequestration project operated by Montezuma Carbon LLC. Collaborators include the University of California Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who have studied the sequestration potential of the Montezuma Hills area since 2010. UCB and LBNL are leading the design of the pipeline and injection site monitoring programs. CO2 will be sourced from refineries,… Continue reading Montezuma Carbon | NorCal Carbon Sequestration Hub
Avnos’ second pilot plant, in development with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Office of Naval Research. The plant will pilot CO2 capture and e-fuels production.
Avnos’ first hybrid direct air capture pilot project in Bakersfield, California. The project was developed in partnership with SoCalGas and with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Avnos’ technology produces 5 tons of liquid distilled water per ton of CO2 captured. The Bakersfield pilot will capture approximately 30 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide and… Continue reading Avnos | Bakersfield HDAC Pilot Plant
California Ethanol + Power (CE+P)’s first project, Sugar Valley Energy, comprising three main production facilities: ethanol, electricity, and biomethane. It is located in Imperial Valley, California. The project will annually produce 61 million gallons of SAF, as well as 41 megawatts of electricity, 25 MW of which will be available for export into the grid,… Continue reading CE+P | Sugar Valley Energy
A green hydrogen plant in Fresno, California. Phase 1 became operational in October 2023. It produces up to one ton per day of green hydrogen powered by biogas.
