Raven SR, based in Pinedale, WY, recently cleared a regulatory hurdle in California and is now on its way to powering hydrogen vehicles in the San Francisco Bay area. 聽Raven SR鈥檚 technology transforms organic waste rotting in landfills into transportation-grade hydrogen fuel.
Its proprietary process could revolutionize how California meets its hydrogen needs while addressing its overabundance of organic waste, according to Raven SR. 聽The company just received its final 鈥淎ir Permit and Authority to Construct鈥� (ATC) from the Bay Area Air District for what will be the first facility in California to convert diverted organic waste into renewable hydrogen through a non-combustion process.
“Receiving the ATC marks a major milestone for Raven SR, the City of Richmond, and the broader hydrogen economy,” said Matt Murdock, CEO of Raven SR. 聽Murdock, who is also the mayor of Pinedale, added, “This facility will commercially demonstrate that we can convert waste that would otherwise emit methane and turn it into clean hydrogen without combustion or toxic emissions.”
