Southern California Gas Company and Bloom Energy will power a portion of Caltech’s grid with an innovative hydrogen project that demonstrates how hydrogen could potentially offer a solution for long-duration clean energy storage and dispatchable power generation. The project takes water from Caltech’s service line and runs it through Bloom Energy’s solid oxide electrolyzer, which… Continue reading SoCalGas | Bloom Energy | Caltech H2 Demo Project
The Sutter Decarbonization Project will demonstrate and deploy a commercial-scale carbon capture system at the Sutter Energy Center, a 550-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle power plant. The project will then transport the CO2 and sequester it permanently and safely more than half a mile underground in saline geologic formations. This project will deploy an air-cooling system… Continue reading Calpine | Sutter Decarbonization Project Yuba City
Avina is developing an onsite renewable-powered liquified green hydrogen facility to decarbonize the mobility sector. It is Avina’s second Southern California project geared towards heavy-duty trucking’s transition to cleaner energy sources. The renewable-powered facility will produce liquified green hydrogen. 15 tonnes per day production capacity.
In May 2023, Aemetis received a permit from the State of California to build a geologic characterization well that will provide information for the permitting and design of its Carbon Capture and Underground Sequestration well in Riverbank, California. Aemetis plans to construct the well in the first half of 2024 and is at the same… Continue reading Aemetis | Riverbank CCS Well
Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. will demonstrate the feasibility of transporting CO2 from the Tracy Power Station in Sparks, Nevada to an onshore basalt storage complex in northeastern California. The project was selected for CarbonSAFE Phase II: Storage Complex Feasibility and will perform technical, economic, and community assessments for potential CO2 storage complexes. The project… Continue reading Electric Power Research Institute | Tracy Power Station Project
A facility that can capture up to 1,000 tons of CO2 per year. The CO2 will be stored in concrete to fulfill commercial removal purchases. The sequestration is executed through a partnership with CarbonCure Technologies. Buyers of Heirloom’s CO2 removal credits include Microsoft, Stripe, Shopify, and Klarna. Heirloom claims the facility, which was inaugurated on… Continue reading Heirloom DAC California Facility
An algae farm producing algae oil for biofuels, polymers, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as protein for food, and feed trials, and Spirulina for the nutraceutical market. The projected cost for commercial scale production of algae jet and diesel fuel is $2.50/gallon of gasoline-equivalent (GGE) facilities. The project should use technology for algae cultivation… Continue reading Global Algae Innovations Biofuels Farm
A commercial-scale plant using Virent’s BioForming® technology for the conversion of sugar feedstocks to biogasoline and sustainable aviation fuel. Virent is working with commercial partners, such as Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Cargill, Johnson Matthey, Toray, and BP Chemicals. A commercial-scale first plant based on Virent’s technology is expected to provide up to 100 million gallons of… Continue reading Virent California Commercial Facility
A carbon capture and storage project in Kern County, California. The project is located in the heart of Aera Energy’s Kern County Belridge oil fields. The project has been in development since 2019. CarbonFrontier will capture CO2 from existing produced gas streams and other sources at the Belridge oil field and inject it deep underground… Continue reading Aera | CarbonFrontier CCS
Indaba Renewable Fuels’s refinery in California, making sustainable aviation fuel using technology from Haldor Topsoe. The facility is expected to produce 6,500 b/d of SAF beginning in 2024. It will use feedstocks from plant, animal, and grease-based sources. Haldor Topsoe is also providing green hydrogen technology. The facility is located in Imperial, California.
