Natural gas production and distribution

A type of electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell to convert hydrogen into electricity to power its onboard motors.

Hydrogen derived from natural gas with carbon capture technology, debated as a potential stepping stone or greenwashing.

A compact hydrogen production system manufactured by Linde that produces hydrogen from renewable natural gas using the same process as centralized hydrogen production plants. The equipment is small enough to fit inside a tractor trailer container.

A three-year partnership between SoCalGas and SunLine Transit Agency to test innovative blue hydrogen production technologies powered by renewable natural gas. The project combines the Linde HydroPrime HC300 MIN system with the STARS-165 SMR technology to produce renewable hydrogen for fuel cell electric buses.

A compact hydrogen production system that produces hydrogen from renewable natural gas using the same process as centralized hydrogen production plants. The equipment is small enough to fit inside a tractor trailer container and is broadly available in Europe.

An advanced blue hydrogen production system that improves upon the Linde system through compact microchannel design and electricity-powered induction heating (without combustion) to enhance efficiency in hydrogen production from renewable natural gas.
