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.
In 2023, True Zero, California’s largest hydrogen supplier, raised its price to $36/kg—from $13.14 less than three years before. A full 5-kg refill in a Mirai could cost up to $180.
Seven hydrogen hubs are planned throughout U.S., creating networks of production plants, trucks, pipelines. California is first to start using federal funds.
Fuel cell cars are a key pillar in the state's decarbonization plan.The California Air Resources Board has projected that more than 10% of new cars sold in 2035 will be fuel cell vehicles, growing ...
In 2023, 3,143 hydrogen cars were sold in the US compared with 380,000 BEVs. [56] The Clarity was later discontinued, but the Honda CR-V e:FCEV became available, for lease only, in very limited quantities in 2024. [18] A significant number of the public hydrogen fuel stations in California are not able to dispense hydrogen. [21]
California is leading the way on hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S. The state is expected to have the capacity to fuel 250,000 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) at 1,764 open-retail hydrogen ...
