Avina Clean Hydrogen Inc. conducted a groundbreaking ceremony in the City of Vernon, Southern California, for its green hydrogen project aimed at decarbonizing heavy-duty transport. The facility, located just 10 miles from the Port of Long Beach, will produce up to 4 MTPD of compressed green hydrogen daily through electrolysis using clean electricity. Once operational, it will be one of the largest integrated electrolytic hydrogen production and refueling sites globally. The project is expected to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 130,000 metric tons per year, thereby enhancing air quality in the region and supporting California's clean energy objectives. Vishal Shah, the Founder and CEO of Avina Clean Hydrogen, highlighted the strategic significance of the facility's location in serving transportation corridors and urban markets to meet the rising demand for clean hydrogen. Local support for the project was evident with the City of Vernon assisting Avina through a streamlined permitting process and ensuring reliable power supply through VPU. The collaboration with FASTECH underscores a commitment to driving innovation in clean energy solutions for a sustainable future. The project has received key environmental permits and is scheduled to begin construction, aiming for commercial operations to commence by July 2025.
