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]
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 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]
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 U.S. Department of Energy said the California Hydrogen Hub will receive an initial $30 million to begin its planning and design phase. The state will eventually receive up to $1.2 billion for ...
The city's hydrogen-fueled goals dovetail with Newsom's own climate ambitions for California, including mandates to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045, to deliver 90% clean electricity ...
