Artist's rendering of Solar Hydrogen Production station to be deployed in the city of Regina at the Fleet Street Landfill. Each solar array measures 13 x 13 meters (40 x 40 feet) and is capable of generating 40,000 kg of hydrogen per year for a total station capacity of 1.2 million kg of hydrogen per year. At peak, this station will prevent an estimated 81.1 kt of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) from entering the atmosphere each year.

Prototype of Solar Hydrogen Generator in operation Concentrated sunlight from the mirror array is focused to 5000 times the intensity of the sun. This intense heat is used to operate the thermochemical hydrogen production process. Energy consumed by the thermochemical process regulates the temperature to 850° C (1562° F). Without the removal of the heat by the thermochemical process, temperatures in excess of 3000° C (5432° F) could be achieved.
