California (DF2)
Project Overview
This project is the second of Hydrogen Energy’s industrial-scale projects integrating the production of hydrogen to produce power and carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS). Hydrogen will be produced from petroleum coke (a low value by-product of the refining process), and will fuel a 500MW power plant. This is enough low-carbon electricity to power up to 325,000 homes in Southern California. Approximately 4-5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year will be captured, transported by pipeline to the Californian oilfields, and stored in oil reservoirs. Storing the CO2 in these oil reservoirs will flush out any oil that was unable to be recovered through traditional methods. It is currently anticipated that the plant will be built and operational by 2014.
