Program Opportunity Notice (PON-11-609)
Hydrogen Fuel Infrastructure
Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program
- Regarding the California Energy Commission's hydrogen infrastructure funding grant (Program Opportunity Notice-11-609):
The California Energy Commission is cancelling its grant solicitation for hydrogen fueling stations in order to revise solicitation protocols.
The Commission will issue a new solicitation at a future date.
A robust hydrogen fuel station infrastructure is necessary to support automakers' rollout of fuel cell vehicles to comply with the Air Resources Board's Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) program. Automakers plan to meet this mandate with a combination of battery electric and fuel cell vehicles. This market is critical to California's economic and environmental goals.
The Alternative and Renewable Fuel & Vehicle Technology Program is an excellent example of how California continues to be the global leader of the green transportation energy and clean fuels technology revolution. California's investment in clean transportation technologies is critical to the success of the next generation of zero-emission vehicles.
