California converts a sewage processing facility into a hydrogen fuel station
The Orange County Sanitation District is currently undergoing a rather interesting transformation. The facility once used to store and process human waste is being converted into a hydrogen fueling station in preparation of the coming of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The facility has been equipped with a fuel cell system that generates hydrogen from waste gas, which is then converted into electricity.
California continues to make use of eco-friendly technology in the daily operations of the state.

The initiative is part of a 3-year project which will display the value and viability of hydrogen fuel, not only for its uses in powering a sewage treatment facility but also for transportation. Officials will host a “grand opening” today, August 16th, where locals are invited to witness the unveiling of the ambitious project.
