City of Lancaster approves Element's California green H2 project
"The City of Lancaster in California said on Wednesday that the Lancaster Planning Commission has given the go-ahead to a project for a solar-powered green hydrogen production facility being developed by Element Resources Inc in the city.

The project envisages the installation of adjacent ground-mounted solar farms with a combined capacity of just above 650 MW to power the green hydrogen production. The solar stations will be coupled with a 330-MWh long-duration battery energy storage system (BESS).
The green hydrogen plant, in turn, will have 400 MW of alkaline electrolysers, 20 units of 20 MW each, and liquefied and gaseous hydrogen storage. It is planned to be launched with an initial capacity to produce more than 20,000 tonnes of renewable green hydrogen annually.

The City of Lancaster noted in the Wednesday statement that the Center is just the beginning of a plan for future collaboration on the development of the city’s renewable hydrogen infrastructure.
