Green Hydrogen Coalition: HyBuild Los Angeles™ Phase 2 Report
About this Report
HyBuild North America™ is the Green Hydrogen Coalition’s (GHC) collaborative platform to architect mass-scale green hydrogen (GH₂) hubs across the continent. Los Angeles was selected as the first focus region due to its abundance of large-scale offtakers, forward-thinking local leadership, robust decarbonization policies, and ample renewable energy resources for GH₂ production.
HyBuild Los Angeles™ brings together the GH₂ value chain and stakeholder ecosystem across the LA Basin, including GH₂ production, transport, storage, multi-sectoral offtakers, labor unions, environmental and environmental justice leaders, tribal nations, and other interested parties. Together, this collaborative group unlocked a vision to achieve $2.05/kilogram (kg) of delivered GH₂ by 2030, while identifying and maximizing community benefits from the clean energy transition.
HyBuild LA set out to determine if it is commercially and technically possible to create a mass-scale GH₂ ecosystem that displaces fossil fuels across multiple sectors. Outputs from Phase 1 of HyBuild LA included a high-level system plan, cost models, preliminary demand scenarios, policy recommendations, and sample contract and term sheets.
HyBuild LA Phase 2 Report: Architecting the Green Hydrogen Ecosystem For a Deeply Carbonized LA unveils the vision established in the second phase of this initiative, including:
An end-to-end system plan, which includes mass-scale production, GH₂ transportation and storage, and multi-sectoral end user infrastructure.
A first-of-its-kind study conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which evaluates potential water use, sources, and infrastructure needed to support a GH₂ ecosystem, focusing on alternative (recycled or repurposed) sources of water.
Learnings from direct engagement with various community stakeholders, including environmental groups, labor unions, and more.
Studies that quantify some of the significant community benefits — including air quality, public health, and job creation — that can be realized from the HyBuild LA vision.
Comprehensive policy and regulatory recommendations that address key barriers to a scaled GH₂ hub.
