Avina Clean Hydrogen breaks ground on facility in California

The facility is designed to produce up to 4 tpd of compressed green hydrogen through electrolysis, using clean electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Once operational, it will be among the largest integrated electrolytic hydrogen production and refuelling sites globally, supplying critical infrastructure to replace diesel trucking miles with hydrogen miles. The facility is expected to eliminate approximately 130 000 t of CO₂ emissions annually, significantly improving air quality in the local communities.

“Our facility’s strategic location in Southern California allows us to serve critical transportation corridors and urban markets, helping meet the growing demand for clean hydrogen across the region,” said Vishal Shah, Founder, and CEO of Avina Clean Hydrogen.

The City of Vernon is excited to help kick off the groundbreaking of Avina’s Clean Hydrogen Project. We’re pleased that we could support Avina’s team through our Public Works’ streamlined permitting process and ensuring that our locally owned utility — VPU, is able to provide high quality, reliable power to support this Project. We believe that Avina will be at the forefront of bringing this clean technology into mass production to meet regional needs throughout California,” said Vernon Mayor, Judith Merlo.
