HyGen Industries

A California LLC dedicated to society's commercial transition to a renewable hydrogen economy. Founded in 1998 in Los Angeles County, the HyGen Industries team has an extensive combined history of over thirty years of experience in efforts to achieve clean air standards in the South Coast Air Basin. Currently HyGen's Board of Directors, and associates consists of entities and individuals from government, law, media, marketing, business, finance, real estate, science and the environment, which brings a broad range of skills to this venture.

The HyGen team has achieved or participated in the following:

The full funding, permitting and deployment of the worlds first and largest commercially permitted and operating solar hydrogen generating/fueling facility and vehicle fleet at Xerox in El Segundo, California (see Executive Summary Abstract of facility after this section).
Established the worlds first permitting protocol for standards and codes for the hydrogen economy.
The establishment of an Equivalent Zero Emission Vehicle standards by CARB (California Air Resources Board) that allows for the fuel cycle to be taken into consideration when calculating tailpipe emissions for ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) credits. This will allow hydrogen vehicle ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) retrofits to achieve equal credit status with EV’s (Electric Vehicles) as ZEV’s, and provides market incentives through government mandates for the first time.

Current goal is to develop and implement renewable energy programs and implement society's transition to a solar hydrogen economy. This is to be achieved through positive and creative action, and a plan to put into operation a renewably powered hydrogen fuel generation facility that will operate on a commercial/industrial scale by the year 2005. The staff and Board of Directors of HyGen Industries is the primary proposer for this venture and will be responsible for overall management and administration. In this role HyGen will provide the direction for all contractors and consultants to ensure the completion of all project segments. Since HyGen is a for-profit corporation, virtually all funding comes from the private sector. Government funding is not essential for implementation of this project, although their participation is inevitable, and support is welcome and attainable.
