Kaizen Clean Energy Awarded Hydrogen Fueling Station and Microgrid Contract By Golden Empire Transit District.

Kaizen Clean Energy (KCE) has been awarded a contract from the Golden Empire Transit District (Bakersfield, CA) for an off-grid hydrogen fueling station and hydrogen-based microgrid to support GETBus’s expanding Zero-Emission fleet. Under the contract, KCE will provide a KCE-150 microgrid capable of producing up to 150kW of power and an hydrogen fueling station delivering up to 460kg of H2/day. The power produced from the KCE-150 will power the hydrogen fueling station and/or provide EV DC fast charging.

KCE’s onsite hydrogen production allows GETBus to control their hydrogen fuel supply, reduce harmful emissions, and provide electrical grid resilient service to their customer base. The KCE technology has been proven and deployed in extreme weather and remote locations to support the replacement of diesel generators and EV charging.

Eric Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, at Kaizen Clean Energy, said:

Kaizen’s hydrogen fueling stations are the most cost-effective systems to fuel hydrogen fuel cell vehicle fleets, providing customers with delivered hydrogen costs significantly less than compressed or liquid hydrogen technologies.

KCE’s hydrogen reformers utilize methanol as a hydrogen carrier. Hydrogen is transported to customers’ sites in the form of methanol. The methanol is stored on-site and reformed into hydrogen on demand. Methanol is a liquid at ambient conditions making it more cost-effective and safer to transport and store than hydrogen itself or other hydrogen carriers such as ammonia.
