AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN), a leader in sustainable electricity generation technology, has announced that its revolutionary KARNO™ linear generator has been approved as an eligible technology under California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). This milestone follows the enactment of Assembly Bill 1921 by Governor Gavin Newsom, positioning the KARNO generator to significantly contribute to the state’s low-emission energy objectives by utilizing renewable fuels such as landfill gas, biogas, and hydrogen.
“California is at the forefront of green initiatives, and we are thrilled to assist in their energy ambitions with our innovative technology, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy future,” remarked Thomas Healy, Hyliion’s Founder and CEO.
The RPS mandates that 60% of retail electricity sales must derive from renewable sources by the end of 2030, ultimately aiming for 100% carbon neutrality by 2045. This program promotes the adoption of clean technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, fostering innovation in renewable energy generation. The KARNO generator’s qualification enables it to serve as a versatile, fuel-flexible power source, capable of utilizing over 20 different fuels, including renewable natural gas, hydrogen, and ammonia for efficient energy production with low to zero emissions.
Healy further emphasized the transformative potential of the KARNO technology in addressing the urgent need for clean power generation in today’s evolving energy landscape. “We believe the KARNO technology holds tremendous potential to deliver clean, efficient power generation urgently needed in today’s growing energy markets,” he stated.
