USHA - Addressing the Hydrogen Challenge: Technology Selection and Integration

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3 AT 9:00 PM PT. Did you know that a significant portion of hydrogen projects have failed due to inappropriate technology selection and integration? In this insightful webinar, we will introduce a smarter approach to how technologies can be integrated and review how they can be packaged together to optimize hydrogen systems and projects.

CTE - Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Guidebook

The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) is pleased to announce the release of the Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Guidebook authored by CTE Senior Managing Consultant, Niki Rinaldi El-Abd, with funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the National Transit Institute (NTI). This first-of-its-kind transition planning guidebook is designed to equip public transit agencies and the engineering firms across the country that support them with the knowledge and tools necessary to plan and implement a successful transition to a zero-emission bus fleet.

Public transit agencies are increasingly recognizing the environmental and economic benefits of zero-emission bus technologies. However, transitioning to a zero-emission bus (ZEB) fleet requires careful planning to avoid the common pitfalls associated with ZEB deployments. The Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Guidebook provides a step-by-step approach to guide public transit agencies through the entire transition process. Key features of the guidebook include:

• Strategies for addressing range limitations and ensuring sufficient fueling infrastructure

• Guidance on developing a staff training plan to support the ZEB fleet

• A framework for creating a funding plan to leverage available financial resources

• A methodology for assessing technology options, developing procurement strategies, and estimating costs

This guidebook recognizes the broader scope of ZEB transition planning, beyond just deployment best practices. Unlike a single ZEB deployment, ZEB Transition Planning establishes a roadmap for future advancements and is an ongoing process that may span a decade or more, influenced by local, state, and federal regulations, funding availability, and specific vehicle replacement schedules. While initially designed for transit agency personnel, this guidebook is a valuable resource for any fleet operator aiming to transition to zero-emission technologies as well for any service provider wishing to aid operators in this important transition.

“This Guidebook is intended to act as a reference for any fleet operator interested in creating a strategy for transitioning their fleet to zero-emission technologies,” said Niki Rinaldi El-Abd, Senior Managing Consultant at CTE. “It walks readers through the entire process of developing their ZEB Transition Plan and empowers them to take on the often-daunting task of developing a strategy to overcome range restrictions, optimize operational considerations, and understand the costs associated with transitioning their fleet.”

The guidebook is based on CTE’s lessons learned from completed transition plans, CTE’s in-house expertise, and the expertise of industry stakeholders. Since its founding in 1993, CTE has managed a portfolio of more than $3.8 billion in team research, development, and demonstration projects funded by a variety of federal, state, and local organizations including the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Energy, Defense, and Interior, as well as the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission. CTE has assisted more than 250 operators that have deployed, or will soon deploy, more than 1,400 zero-emission vehicles. CTE has also managed or participated in almost 80 transition planning projects across the country.

“This guidebook is a culmination of CTE’s extensive experience in supporting the transition to zero-emission buses,” said Dan Raudebaugh, Executive Director of CTE. “We are confident that this resource will be a valuable tool for public transit agencies and industry service providers as they work to transition to cleaner, more sustainable fleets.”

Hydrogen Moves - On the Hydrogen Highway: Plug-and-Play Mobility Solutions

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 AT 2:00 PM CET. What people in the H2 industry need right now is a bit of confidence. Particularly in countries which have just voted or where elections will be held shortly. Fair to say that political decision-making will come more or less to a stop in these nations for several weeks. Indeed it may not be clear how certain programs will continue into the future. The historic turning point referred to in the address given by the still-current German Chancellor Scholz in 2022 can continue to be felt today.

ARCHES Transportation White Paper - 2

Executive Summary
The use of hydrogen and fuel-cell technology in California’s transportation sector will be crucial to achieve the zero-emission transportation goals of the State of California, along with federal goals to reduce transportation emissions.1 The following summary outlines top findings by the ARCHES Transportation Working Group, identifying the opportunities and challenges related to achieving a mature hydrogen transportation market in California with a primary focus on the medium- and heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) market.

GTI Energy Tech Talk Webinar Underground Hydrogen Storage: Long-Duration Energy Storage Solutions

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 FROM 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM CT. Hydrogen can significantly enhance energy resilience and reliability by storing excess renewable energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. Stored hydrogen can then be reutilized for a variety of applications, from transportation to industrial use or blended with natural gas using existing pipeline networks, transforming how we store and manage energy. To unlock this potential, large-scale, low-cost storage solutions are needed.

Pillsbury Webinar - Renewable Energy Tax Credits After the Inflation Reduction Act

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19. This presentation will provide an overview of renewable energy tax credits, as extended, modified or introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and subsequent regulations related to those credits. The relevant guidance has seen numerous updates since the IRA’s passage in 2022. Panelists will provide insight into the regulations and other IRS guidance issued to date, such as the prevailing wage/apprenticeship requirements and the domestic content and other bonus credit rules.

University of California ITS - Developing a Hydrogen Vehicle Market in California Will Require Significant Upfront Investment, but Should be Self-Sustaining Thereafter

To support ARCHES and California’s commitment to hydrogen, the UC Davis Hydrogen Program2 evaluated the requirements and costs of building a network of hydrogen stations (including delivering hydrogen to those stations), and the costs of purchasing these vehicles, including light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. This work builds upon our prior studies3 that developed two FCEV adoption scenarios through 2045: i) an ambitious but incremental Base Case scenario closely aligned with FCEV sales targets adopted by ARCHES, and ii) an even more ambitious High Case scenario that assumes robust light- duty and medium/heavy-duty vehicle markets by 2030, along with more rapid growth in refueling and hydrogen production capacities throughout the state. We used the two scenarios to estimate the level of investment and other costs for building out a hydrogen system to support road transportation (i.e., trucks, cars, buses), and examine how these investments and per-unit hydrogen costs play out over time (with 2030 and 2045 being key years) and across different types of hydrogen system components (e.g., hydrogen delivery systems and stations). We also looked at workforce and jobs impacts from the transition to hydrogen and FCEVs within the state.
