Avina
Clean Hydrogen has announced a partnership agreement with Chart Industries to
work on developing a green hydrogen plant in Southern California
New
Jersey: On July 05th,
2023, Avina Clean Hydrogen Inc. (Avina), a prominent developer of electrolytic
hydrogen plants, has signed a partnership agreement with Chart Industries, Inc.
(Chart), a global leader in hydrogen equipment manufacturing to work on
developing a green hydrogen project in Southern California. This collaboration
aims to revolutionize sustainable transportation in Southern California through
the establishment of the region’s first green hydrogen facility. Under this
agreement, the Chart Industries will supply their Howden compressors for
Avina's state-of-the-art green hydrogen facility in Southern California (USA)
that help to compress the gaseous hydrogen and further used to decarbonize
heavy-duty trucks, marking a significant milestone as the region's first green
hydrogen plant. Furthermore, the Howden diaphragm “D” series compressors offered
by Chart’s will enable the safe and efficient transportation of compressed
gaseous hydrogen, making its availability as a clean fuel source for heavy-duty
trucks working throughout Southern California. In addition, the partnership's
efforts will drive the expansion of sustainable transportation infrastructure
and establish Southern California as a leader in green hydrogen.
According
to the founder and CEO, Avina Clean Hydrogen Inc, stated “Avina is proud to work with
Chart on this first-of-its-kind green hydrogen project in Southern California,
deepening our partnership. He further said that Chart’s Howden compressors are
best in class, ensuring the reliability and high quality of Avina’s green
hydrogen for commercial mobility and other markets in California.”
According
to the President and CEO of Chart Industries, stated “Our partnership with Avina
showcases Chart's expertise in designing and delivering cutting-edge hydrogen
solutions across the entire hydrogen value chain. With a rich history of over
100 years in hydrogen compression leadership, our solution for this project
focuses on ensuring the safety and efficiency of hydrogen compression, while
providing ongoing support to optimize plant performance and reliability. This
project is another testament to Chart's expertise in developing and delivering
innovative yet cost-effective hydrogen technologies.”
According
to TechSci Research,
One of the most dominant demands in the current scenario is the demand of green
fuel that has no effect on climate conditions and achieve carbon neutrality by
utilize it in the electrification of transportation. The green hydrogen is used
as source of fuel in the hydrogen-based fuel cell which generates electricity
from this. The electrification of vehicles has increased globally as a result
of various governments' adoption of "green" initiatives. Global sales
of electric vehicles increased by 41% to almost 3 million, increasing the
demand for eco-friendly hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel-based Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicles (FCEVs), or fuel cell electric vehicles use less fuel than
conventional internal combustion engines and emit no exhaust pollutants. FCEVs
only create warm air and water vapor. Since they don't emit greenhouse gases,
hydrogen fuel cell cars are useful in cutting down on emissions. This is then
anticipated to have a favorable effect on market expansion. Additionally,
hydrogen fuel cell vehicles require less maintenance and operate quietly.
Furthermore, it is projected that supportive government policies, programs, and
grants to promote greener technology will fuel the industry. Hence, the
partnership of Avian Clean Hydrogen with Chart Industries helps in
transitioning heavy-duty trucks from fossil fuels to clean hydrogen, and the
Southern California region will experience a significant reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
