ATLANTA- Graphic industries Inc. (NYSE:NYSE:), a leading player in clean energy and industrial gas solutions, has secured a significant order from Element Resources Inc for a renewable green hydrogen production facility in Lancaster, California.
The Lancaster Clean Energy Center (LCEC) is set to become one of the largest projects of its kind in the state, with plans to produce more than 20,000 tons of green hydrogen per year in its initial phase.
The LCEC, which is expected to begin commercial operations in 2026, will operate off-grid, powered by dedicated solar photovoltaic energy. This facility will use Chart’s hydrogen liquefaction technology, including the company’s refrigeration technology, cold box design and associated rotating equipment.
The order includes the supply of the hydrogen liquefaction system, liquid hydrogen storage tanks, trailer loading areas, transports and ISO containers, as well as hydrogen compression for storage, distribution and heavy refueling.
Steve Meheen, CEO of Element Resources, expressed satisfaction at reaching an agreement with Chart Industries, citing the simplification of procurement, construction and operation of the plant due to Chart’s comprehensive in-house design, engineering and construction capabilities.
Jill Evanko, CEO and president of Chart, reciprocated the sentiment, highlighting Chart’s full range of hydrogen offerings and its role in advancing the energy transition.
While this announcement is a forward-looking statement and subject to the usual risks and uncertainties of such projections, it is indicative of the growing demand for clean fuels for mobility and clean energy for the manufacturing sector. Chart Industries’ position in the market is strengthened by its global presence, with 64 manufacturing locations and more than 50 service centers worldwide.
Element Resources, headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a support office in San Diego, is focused on the development of 100% green hydrogen. The company is investing in hydrogen-related technologies and holds patents for underground hydrogen storage and advanced catalysts for electrolyzers.
