Fuel Cell Buses

Last week, we welcomed the announcement by President Biden and Secretary Granholm of the hydrogen hubs that were selected to help accelerate the hydrogen economy in the United States. 

What began with more than 70 applicants ended with seven hubs selected to begin negotiations for $7 billion in funding. Each is focused on hydrogen production that is uniquely suited to their region and industries and sectors that will benefit from renewable, zero and low-carbon hydrogen.

• Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (HFCP) launches national hydrogen mobility strategy that focuses on building a hydrogen fueling network across the U.S. for heavy-duty trucks, enabling links between ports, hydrogen hubs and more
• HFCP evolution to a national nonprofit reflects the growth of hydrogen mobility in California and the acceleration of hydrogen in the United States and across the world

On April 6, CaFCP and the California Hydrogen Coalition hosted the first Hydrogen Village at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. The event was an opportunity to showcase the value and performance of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, and tell the larger story of how they will help California achieve its climate, equity and economic goals.

Are you a transit fleet operator planning to convert to zero-emission buses in the coming years? Then this is the article for you.

You’ll learn why preparing a thorough transition plan early in the process is so essential to scaling your zero-emission fleet successfully—and why without such a plan, you’re likely to encounter roadblocks that are, largely, preventable. We’ll also share some key findings of other fleet operators as they developed their own plans to transition from diesel power to zero-emission buses (ZEBs).

Today is Hydrogen Day, and it serves as a good opportunity to look at what’s happening in California and beyond. The pace of activity for hydrogen and fuel cell electric cars, buses, trucks and other forms of mobility has rapidly accelerated over the past year here and around the world.  

Thank you for joining us for the October 30, 2019 AB 8 Webinar. We’ve tried to answer most of your questions as thoughtfully as possible and included relevant documents where necessary. In some cases, we responded directly to you. 

You can find the video recording from the webinar here, and a PDF of the presentation here.

A road map to the U.S. hydrogen economy highlights the need for investment, policy development and govt/private industry collaboration

Eighteen private-sector companies released a road map to a hydrogen economy in the United States, calling for nine policy and programmatic actions that are needed to develop and expand several hydrogen-related markets.
