Cadiz, Inc. and RIC Energy have announced a partnership to build California's largest green hydrogen facility at Cadiz Ranch in the Mojave Desert. The facility will utilize 100% solar power to produce 50 tons of green hydrogen per day, aiming to fuel zero-emission trucks, cars, and electricity in Southern California markets. Cadiz will provide land and water to RIC Energy for the project, which is set to be one of the world's largest self-sufficient green hydrogen facilities. The location at Cadiz Ranch offers a strategic advantage with its proximity to major infrastructure such as rail lines, pipelines, and highways, making it an ideal spot for green hydrogen production. The project is expected to be off-grid, using photovoltaic solar for power supply on up to 3,000 acres of land. With plans to comply with strict regulations, including IRA's Section 45V, the facility will make use of on-site water resources and renewable electricity generated from a local solar array. Cadiz will supply up to 500 acre-feet of water annually for hydrogen production, while also utilizing green hydrogen and solar energy to power its own operations. The partnership signifies an exciting opportunity for RIC Energy, which operates clean energy facilities globally, as it marks their first venture in the US. Overall, the project highlights a significant step towards sustainable energy production and transportation in California.
