The Draft Solicitation Concept focuses on Large-Scale Centralized Production for the Clean Hydrogen Program. The Draft Solicitation Concept outlines proposed funding, eligibility requirements, project focus, evaluation process, and specific questions for stakeholders.
The overall goal of this solicitation is to support the adoption of commercially available hydrogen technologies and kickstart large-scale, centralized clean hydrogen production through demonstration and scale-up in California. Projects must demonstrate (at new facilities) or scale-up (at existing hydrogen production facilities) clean hydrogen production, storage, and distribution. By deploying clean hydrogen production at a large scale, this endeavor can benefit communities, workforce, air quality, and natural environments should hydrogen be used to replace diesel, fossil gas, or other fossil fuels. Any hydrogen production technologies that meet the minimum requirements and project elements identified in this solicitation are eligible to apply. The primary objectives of these funded projects will be to:
1) Demonstrate production of at least five metric tons of clean hydrogen per day.
2) Demonstrate hydrogen storage on-site and delivery off-site.
3) Meet demand for low-carbon fuels and contribute to the overall hydrogen economy in California through distribution networks.
4) Establish a foundation for learning-by-doing to enable economies of scale and knowledge sharing.
5) Lower the cost barrier and carbon impact for clean hydrogen production by colocating renewable energy production with hydrogen production, delivery, and storage.
