Raven SR Inc., has selected POWER Engineers Inc. and Stellar J Corporation to complete the final design, engineering and fabrication of the company's first commercial renewable fuels production facilities, to be located in the San Francisco Bay area. The facilities will convert a blend of green waste and food waste into green hydrogen for the commercial transportation market.

Raven SR's first commercial systems will produce up to 10,000 kgs/day of renewable hydrogen from a blend of green waste and food waste that is being diverted from landfilling, with a negative carbon intensity generating a California low carbon fuel credit (LCFS) for fueling stations. Raven SR's patented Steam/CO₂ Reformation process enables it to be one of the only non-combustion, waste-to-hydrogen processes in the world. 

The company's first commercial systems can reduce landfill waste by up to 200 t/d, converting it to nearly 10 t of renewable hydrogen, enough to power around 200 heavy-duty trucks or 1,250 passenger vehicles per day. Raven SR's patented Steam/CO₂ Reformation process enables it to be one of the only non-combustion, waste-to-hydrogen processes in the world with a negative carbon intensity generating a California low carbon fuel credit (LCFS) for fueling stations.

Raven SR's process involves no combustion, as confirmed by the State of California EPA's Department of Toxic Substances. This avoids the creation of toxic pollutants and particulates, and can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, flared gas and vehicle exhaust. 

POWER Engineers will complete the final engineering and design of the units. POWER has extensive experience in industrial chemicals and manufacturing, facility design, and environmental services. The company's projects have included complex continuous process systems, as well as renewable and conventional generation and transmission system design to support economic growth on all continents. 

Stellar J will be fabricating the Raven SR units for installation at the two waste and material processing sites. Its work includes public and private projects, including engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), and design, bid and build structures, including biogas energy projects, digesters, landfill construction, and wastewater treatment plants.

The Bay Area sites will also serve as the first two hydrogen hubs in a partnership between Raven SR and Hyzon Motors Inc. to fuel the regional Hyzon fleets, and supply hydrogen for commercial fuel stations in the region. Hyzon, a leading global supplier of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial vehicles, and Raven SR previously announced the co-development of 100 of hydrogen hubs in the US and internationally.
