Hydrogen Energy California is completing the technical studies, permitting process and commercial discussions in order to build the HECA facility that will be the world’s first commercial scale power plant with 90% carbon capture stoarge .
Incetives exist today to encourage the development of wind and solar power but few exist to encourage the development of the low carbon and reliable power that comes from power plants equipped with carbon capture storage. Regulatory frameworks that act as catalysts for the development of CCS projects will enable the rapid deployment of this important low carbon power option.

We believe that the public officials and the general public are increasingly becoming aware of the significant issues surrounding climate change and the costs and benefits of taking precautionary action through a range of approaches.
The public already pays for programs that stimulate the provision of cleaner electricity from renewables, nuclear energy, and energy efficiency and conservation programs.
The State of California in particular has long been a leader in the development of clean air initiatives (e.g. low vehicle emission standards, alternative vehicle fuels, and clean fuels), Renewable energy Portfolio Standards (RPS), and more specifically the support for hydrogen as a fuel for transportation. The HECA project represents a further step in the development of low-carbon power generation in a state that has shown clear leadership in developing clean power and transportation technologies.
