Renewable Energy Curtailment in California

Research

Natural gas production and distribution

Higher education and research

Research

Devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction, producing minimal emissions.

An energy storage system that converts surplus alternative energy into hydrogen gas for storage in pipeline networks. Hydrogenics claims this technology offers better energy storage capabilities than utility-scale counterparts.

Used by SunHydro to generate hydrogen, making the fueling process fully sustainable.

California

A pilot project launched by the University of California-Irvine in 2016 to demonstrate the capabilities of power-to-gas technology for converting excess renewable electricity into hydrogen and other gases.

A neighborhood-scale renewable energy demonstration project in Huntington Beach, California, integrating solar, wind, natural gas, and power-to-gas systems to showcase clean energy solutions and hydrogen storage for community power supply.
