Kern Energy Secures Permit for Hydrogen Reincorporation at Refinery

Kern Energy's refinery, located southeast of Bakersfield, has been granted permission by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to modify its operations. The facility, processing 25,000 barrels per day, will install a hydrogen power generation setup that includes fuel cells, hydrogen purification, and associated hydrogenation and dehydrogenation units. This initiative reflects a growing trend towards sustainability in refining processes, potentially reducing operational emissions and improving overall fuel production efficiency.
