This Company Is Turning Waste Into Clean Hydrogen. And Electricity. And Water

"The facility's completion comes as the U.S. pushes for greater use of hydrogen from sources that don’t generate carbon dioxide. California has provided incentives for such clean power projects for years — particularly at Southern California ports that have among the worst air pollution in the country — and the Biden Administration is enacting generous new federal tax credits for clean hydrogen of up to $3 per kilogram.
