SoCalGas opens hydrogen-powered home The two-story home on Firestone Blvd. in Downey has a simple design and xeriscaping, like many modern homes in California. The [H2] Innovation Experience is the first residence in the nation to use a hydrogen-fueled microgrid that uses solar panels to generate hydrogen from water with zero emissions. Hydrogen from a fuel cell powers lights and electronics and is mixed with natural gas to power a tankless water heater, clothes dryer, range top, oven, fireplace, and barbeque. SoCalGas aims to be carbon neutral by 2045, the same year California aims to be net zero. The [H2]…
