Hydrogen power and greenhouse gas reduction
Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) has proposed a new hydrogen-powered electricity generating facility for the Kern County area that would capture and sequester (store) most of its carbon related emissions. This facility will be similar to the cleanest natural gas power plants. Instead of using natural gas to run its turbine electrical generators, this plant will use hydrogen. The result will be local power generation in a local area with growing power demands - enough power for over 150,000 homes - along with 90% reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. CO2 emissions will be captured and stored deep underground, preventing release into the atmosphere.
