- Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) was an alternative energy, hydrogen power project in development with support from the U.S. Department of Energy in Kern County, California. The facility proposed to convert coal and refinery waste into an impure hydrogen fuel that would be used to generate electricity and fertilizer. HECA was supposed to capture ninety percent of its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to theoretically minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and inject it, for enhanced oil recovery. If it had become fully operational, HECA would have generated nearly 300MW of clean electricity and will produce one million tons of locally manufactured, low-carbon fertilizer. But, most of the electricity produced by HECA would have been consumed by the different processes at the plant.On March 4, 2016, the California Energy Commission ordered the HECA application to be terminated. HECA would have produced over 500 tons of criteria air pollutants. This air pollution would have been added to an area that already has the worst air pollution in the entire United States. The facility was to be located on 542-acre (219 ha) of prime farmland in western Kern County, about 7 miles (11 km) west of Bakersfield and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of the unincorporated community of Tupman. The site is near the Elk Hills Oil Field where the captured CO2 was to be used for enhanced oil recovery by Occidental of Elk Hills, Inc. HECA would have employed an expected 2,000 union workers to construct the facility and would have created approximately 200 permanent jobs. HECA was a project of SCS Energy LLC, an independent developer of clean power. HECA was cofunded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and administered by the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The HECA project was awarded a $408 million grant by the U.S. Department of Energy under Clean Coal Power Initiative Round 3. (en)
