[H2] Innovation Experience
Our [H2] Innovation Experience is North America's first-ever clean, renewable hydrogen powered microgrid and home. This project demonstrates how net-zero gas made from renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to fuel energy systems and communities of the future.
Named a World-Changing Idea by Fast Company and awarded the U.S. Green Building Council of L.A.'s Sustainable Innovation Award, the [H2]IE features clean, renewable hydrogen production and storage along with a nearly 2,000 square-foot home that can draw power from solar panels and convert excess renewable energy into clean renewable hydrogen.

About the [H2] IE Microgrid
Clean, renewable hydrogen1 microgrids can enhance community energy resilience by leveraging distributed renewable energy production, storage, and use.
- Local energy generation reduces strain & supports the electric grid.
- Supplies critical and emergency energy with zero greenhouse gas emissions during power outages.
1Clean, renewable hydrogen is defined as hydrogen produced with a carbon intensity equal to or less than two kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent produced at the site of production per kilogram of hydrogen produced, and that does not use any fossil fuel in its production process.
Uses renewable solar to produce clean hydrogen for community energy needs. Zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Scalable to serve neighborhoods, industry, commercial buildings, and transportation.
Promotes the broad development of clean hydrogen and related clean energy uses. Supports communities with clean energy all year long. Provides reliable energy supply during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs(PSPS).
