LANCASTER, Calif., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The City of Lancaster today announced the formalization of its partnership with Element Resources through a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU expands upon the City of Lancaster and Element Resources Lancaster Clean Energy Center, one of California's largest green hydrogen production facilities, announced in December 2022.
The City and Element Resources will collaborate on developing hydrogen economy infrastructure such as hydrogen fueling stations for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, supplying hydrogen locally and working with other partners to expand the broader hydrogen production chain.
