Avina Clean Hydrogen has revealed its plans for a green hydrogen project in Vernon, California, strategically located near the Port of Long Beach. The facility is designed to produce up to 4 metric tons per day of compressed green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by carbon-free resources. This initiative aims to contribute to decarbonizing heavy-duty transport and supporting clean energy goals in California. Once operational, the Vernon Project will play a significant role globally as an integrated electrolytic hydrogen production and refueling site, facilitating the transition from diesel trucking to hydrogen-powered transport. The project is expected to reduce approximately 130,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, thereby enhancing air quality in local communities. With construction set to begin and commercial operations scheduled to start from July 2025, the project underscores the growing demand for clean hydrogen in urban markets and critical transportation corridors of Southern California. Avina Clean Hydrogen's CEO, Vishal Shah, highlighted the strategic importance of the facility's location in meeting the region's clean energy needs. While acknowledging challenges such as the high cost of green hydrogen compared to gray hydrogen, which is more carbon-intensive, the project aligns with broader efforts to drive down costs and promote sustainable energy solutions. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's initiatives, including those under the Biden Administration, the aim is to reduce green hydrogen costs to $1 per kilogram by 2030. Avina Clean Hydrogen, established by leaders in the hydrogen industry, is dedicated to investing in green ammonia and hydrogen plants, with plans to inject $1 billion into these ventures by the following year. The company has already embarked on projects in various U.S. states and forged partnerships with key industry players, positioning itself as a significant contributor to the green hydrogen ecosystem.
