SoHyCal

Country
United States

SoHyCal is fully operational in its first phase, harnessing the power of renewable energy and cutting-edge electrolysis technology, producing up to one ton per day of green hydrogen powered by biogas It will transition into solar energy in phase two, expected to produce a total of three tons per day of green hydrogen powered by PV by Q4 of 2028. This amount of hydrogen will fuel up to 210,000 cars per year or 30,000 city buses.
