SoCalGas Begins Assembling Hydrogen Home
SoCalGas Begins Assembling Hydrogen Home
The [H2] Hydrogen Home features a nearly 2,000-square-foot house, solar panels, a battery, an electrolyzer that converts solar energy to hydrogen, and a fuel cell to supply electricity for the home. Hydrogen also will be blended up to 20 percent with natural gas and used in the home’s tankless water heater, clothes dryer, gas stove, fireplace, and outdoor grill.
The project aims to demonstrate how a home that acts as a miniature microgrid can be constructed on a larger scale to power residential neighborhoods and businesses.
“For the past decade, SoCalGas has invested in hydrogen research and development, recognizing it as a critical component of our transition to net-zero emissions,” said Maryam Brown, SoCalGas president. “The [H2] Hydrogen Home brings many of the technologies that we helped pioneer together under one roof in a unique showcase of how California might power resilient communities and businesses in the future.”
