Avina Clean Hydrogen Pioneers Green Hydrogen Production in Southern California
Key Ideas
  • Avina Clean Hydrogen's groundbreaking ceremony in City of Vernon, California, marks a significant step towards decarbonizing heavy-duty transport and supporting clean energy goals.
  • The state-of-the-art facility will produce up to 4 tpd of compressed green hydrogen through electrolysis, eliminating approximately 130,000 tpy of CO2 emissions.
  • The strategic location allows Avina to provide critical infrastructure for replacing diesel trucking miles with hydrogen miles, significantly improving air quality in local communities.
  • With key permits in place, the project is set to begin construction and commercial operations by July 2025, driving innovation and sustainability in the hydrogen industry.
Avina Clean Hydrogen held a ground-breaking ceremony for its green hydrogen project in the City of Vernon, just 10 miles from the Port of Long Beach in Southern California. The facility, designed to produce 4 tpd of compressed green hydrogen through electrolysis, aims to support California's clean energy goals and decarbonize heavy-duty transport. It will be one of the largest integrated electrolytic hydrogen production sites globally, providing critical infrastructure for transitioning to hydrogen-powered transportation and reducing CO2 emissions. The project received support from local authorities, including Vernon Mayor Judith Merlo and FASTECH President Dan McGill. The facility's strategic location in Southern California positions Avina to serve transportation corridors and urban markets, meeting the increasing demand for clean hydrogen in the region. With key environmental permits secured, construction is scheduled to start soon, with commercial operations planned to begin in July 2025. The partnership with California Hydrogen Business Council highlights the growth of the hydrogen industry in the state, supporting initiatives for zero-emission vehicles and power generation. Avina's project represents a positive step towards innovation, sustainability, and improved air quality in local communities.
