About the Hydrogen Energy California project (HECA)
The HECA project would be an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant that takes petroleum coke (petcoke), a by-product of the refining process (or blends of petcoke and coal, as needed), and non-potable water into hydrogen, a clean-burning gas, and CO2. The hydrogen will be used to fuel a low-carbon power station and the captured CO2 will be transported by pipeline to nearby oil fields and utilized for enhanced oil recovery with the CO2 being permanently stored deep underground.
