RIC Energy has partnered with Cadiz, Inc. to construct a 50-tonne-per-day green hydrogen plant in California's Mojave Desert, touting it as the largest of its kind in the state. The plant, to be located at Cadiz's agrisolar operation, will utilize 100% solar energy to power electrolysers for green hydrogen production. This initiative aligns with the stringent regulations of the Inflation Reduction Act's 45V tax credit. Additionally, the project at Cadiz Ranch aims to conserve water by reducing groundwater evaporation, benefiting up to 400,000 people over the next 50 years. With plans to utilize the aquifer system for hydrogen production, the facility will also supply water for the process. The strategic location of the site at a convergence of rail, pipeline, and highway infrastructure enables efficient transportation of hydrogen to customers in Southern California. Future plans include the potential for hydrogen pipelines to serve the Los Angeles region. The project is poised to support California's clean energy objectives by contributing to the state's goal of achieving 90% clean electricity by 2035. By leveraging tax credits and ensuring renewable electricity sources, the partners aim to establish one of the world's largest self-sufficient green hydrogen facilities.
