Fuel Cells Works, Southern California Gas and Fluor Corporation Announce BWR Innovations as Awardee In SoCalGas “H2 Hydrogen Home” Project

Fargo, ND – Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) and Fluor Corporation announced additional SoCalGas “H2 Hydrogen Home” awardees.  The awardees include BWR Innovations, LLC. of Fargo, North Dakota.  BWR Innovations will be providing fuel cell and telemetry components for the first hydrogen home in North America (www.socalgas.com).

BWR Innovations is partnering with Intelligent Energy (IE) for the fuel cells used in SoCalGas’ H2 Hydrogen Home project.  Intelligent Energy (IE), with headquarters in the UK and additional operations in the US, Japan, South Korea, and China, is a fuel cell engineering business built on 30 years of proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell development. Its focus is developing and commercializing its PEM fuel cell technologies for growing markets including, automotive, stationary power, and UAVs.

“Being selected for the SoCalGas H2 Hydrogen Home Project is an honor.  It is also exciting that the BWR Innovations team has proven to SoCalGas and Fluor that we are ready to help make this project a reality,” says Joel Jorgenson, President, and CEO of BWR Innovations.  Jorgenson explains further, “This type of project has the potential to be replicated and demonstrate all over the country.  As utility companies and states are looking for solutions to reduce or eliminate their carbon footprint in the decades ahead, and to stabilize an overtaxed electrical grid, BWR Innovations can be part of the solution.”

The H2 Hydrogen Home is the first fully integrated micro-grid demonstration project of its kind in North America.  Fast Company, the world’s leading progressive business media brand, recognizes this project as a “World Changing Idea” for its innovative home energy design.  The H2 Hydrogen Home utilizes the production and storage of hydrogen and fuel cells to produce electricity as needed without reliance on batteries or the potential need for an electrical grid connection. The demonstration home will validate hydrogen as a reliable energy storage medium for excess solar power. The fuel cell will provide electricity utilizing the stored hydrogen when the solar panels do not produce adequate electrical power.

The Intelligent Energy/BWR Innovations partnership provides the most advanced fuel cell technology available using IE Fuel Cells and BWR Innovations patented telemetry and fuel cell control systems.   For more information on how BWR Innovations and Intelligent Energy (IE) can help make your next fuel cell project a reality, you can contact: Joel Jorgenson, President/CEO of BWR Innovations at [email protected].
