In September 2006, California Senate Bill 1505 required 33% of hydrogen to come from renewable energy sources, [3] [4] and other initiatives followed. [5] As of 2007, 25 stations were in operation. [6] Some of these hydrogen fueling stations completed the terms of their government-funded research demonstration project and were decommissioned. [7]
The California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) is a public-private partnership to promote hydrogen vehicles (including cars and buses) in California. It is notable as one of the first initiatives for that purpose undertaken in the United States. The challenge is which come first, hydrogen cars or filling stations. [1]
Hydrogen is an energy carrier and can be used to store and deliver energy as needed. When used in a fuel cell, the hydrogen atom dissociates into a positively charged hydrogen ion and a negatively charged electron which is diverted to an electric load. A fuel cell can be used to power anything in much the same way that batteries are used.
The Golden State will receive up to $1.2 billion to build or expand on hydrogen projects that will help power public transportation, port operations and heavy-duty transport — sectors known to ...
Seven hydrogen hubs are planned throughout U.S., creating networks of production plants, trucks, pipelines. California is first to start using federal funds.
That's a lot of cars — 1.78 million new vehicles were sold in California last year. Since hydrogen station growth has stalled and hydrogen prices exploded, fuel cell sales have stalled too.
The Act of Congress endorsed the development and research of renewable energy and renewable resources for hydrogen production. The United States public law standardized the energy carrier as a critical technology declaring the period 1 element for the expansion of a hydrogen economy within the continental United States.
It’s unclear what hydrogen projects and where will receive government subsidies. Environmental groups are calling for transparency California to receive $1.2B for hydrogen projects.
