ARCHES and the UC Institute of Transportation Studies (UC ITS) - Hydrogen at the Crossroads: Scaling Infrastructure, Vehicles, and Workforce for a Zero-Emission Transportation Future in California
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17TH AT 2:00 PM PT. California’s commitment to hydrogen as a clean transportation fuel is ramping up with a landmark $12.6 billion agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) consortium to build a renewable Hydrogen Hub in the state. Are we at a tipping point for hydrogen in California’s zero-emission transportation future?
Join ARCHES and the UC Institute of Transportation Studies (UC ITS) to explore what a hydrogen transition in transportation could mean for California, including what it might cost, workforce implications, and the feasibility of delivering “green” low-carbon hydrogen. Speakers will share new research on the scale and pace of investment needed to deliver hydrogen distribution systems and refueling stations to meet growing demand, the availability and cost of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks and passenger vehicles over the next decade and beyond, the latest carbon intensity estimates for hydrogen production, and the workforce implications of building out a hydrogen system in California. Industry experts will offer perspective on research implications to California’s growing hydrogen economy, policy, and future research directions.
