"Revolutionary Company Converts Waste into Clean Hydrogen, Electricity, and Water, While Toyota Achieves Grid Independence with Hydrogen System"

Toyota and FuelCell Energy have deployed the world's first "tri-gen" system at Toyota's port facility in Long Beach, California. The system converts methane-rich waste gas into electricity, clean hydrogen, and water. It cost $35 million to build and takes up the space of three basketball courts. Toyota will use the hydrogen for its fleet of fuel cell trucks and electric sedans, while the electricity will power all port operations. The system is expected to eliminate over 9,000 tons of CO2 annually and excess electricity will be transmitted to the local utility. FuelCell Energy sees potential for deploying similar systems in other applications such as mining.
