Document Description
The SG H2 Lancaster Holding Company LLC proposes to construct the Lancaster Waste to Renewable Hydrogen Facility (WTRH2) (Conditional Use Permit No. 21-06). The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of a facility that would produce hydrogen (H2) from unrecyclable mixed waste paper feedstock. The feedstock would be gasified (i.e., converted from a solid into a gas) to produce a H2-rich gas that would be further processed to reach 99.97 mole pure renewable H2. The facility would generate approximately 4,570 metric tons of H2 per year with a full production capacity of 13.1 metric tons of H2 per day. The H2 gas would be transported off-site in pressurized tube-trailer containers for use at H2 refueling stations throughout California. The refueling stations would dispense the H2 as a transportation fuel in motor vehicles. The project site is located on approximately 15 acres on the north side of Avenue M between 5th Street East and 6th Street East in the City of Lancaster, California. Specifically, the proposed project is located on Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 3126-017-028, 3126-017-040, and 3126-017-039. The parcels are currently vacant/undeveloped and zoned Heavy Industrial (HI).
