洛杉矶, 2021年6月15日 /价值/—— 南加州天然气公司. (SoCalGas) and its H2 Hydrogen Home have been named one of Fast Company's World-Changing Ideas in the 北美 类别. 该奖项旨在表彰产品, 概念, 公司, 政策, and designs that are pursuing innovation for the good of society and the planet. Entries are judged on impact, design, scalability, and ingenuity. SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home 是 first project of its kind in the U.S. aiming to show how carbon-free gas made from renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to fuel clean energy systems of the future. SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home and 17 other projects were selected among thousands of submissions considered for the honor by Fast Company.

"Our H2 Hydrogen Home demonstrates the important role of hydrogen in helping the state achieve its carbon neutrality goals,” 斯科特•特鲁里街他是SoCalGas的首席执行官. "As we lean into our mission to build the cleanest, 最安全的, and most innovative energy company in America, we are proud that Fast Company agrees this project is a world-changing idea."

The H2 Hydrogen Home, which will be built later this year in the city of 唐尼, 是 first fully integrated demonstration project with solar panels, 一个电池, and electrolyzer to convert solar energy to hydrogen and a fuel cell to supply electricity for the home. Hydrogen will also be blended with natural gas and used in the home's heat pump HVAC unit, 热水器, 干衣机, 还有煤气炉. The home will function and feel exactly like a regular home but use reliable and clean energy 24 hours a day, 一周7天, 一年365天.

Hydrogen is already helping to reduce emissions from the transportation sector and will soon be used by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to generate electricity. It can also be used to fuel hard-to-decarbonize industries. 能源专家发现 hydrogen provides an ideal solution for long-term storage of renewable energy 在更大的网格上也是如此.  

今年3月, SoCalGas became the 最大的天然气分配公司 in 北美 to set a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045. A key component of that goal is to complete five hydrogen pilot projects by 2025, 包括H2氢之家.
