Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Energy in the United States Fuel Cells 101
Fuel cells generate electricity and heat using hydrogen and oxygen to drive an electro-chemical reaction, not combustion – the only byproduct is water.
2 Today’s Fuel Cell Markets
Transportation Hydrogen Fueling Stationary Power Portable Power • Cars • Production • Primary Power • Battery Chargers • Buses • Distribution • Distributed • Remote/off-grid • Trucks • Energy Storage Generation • Recreation • Material Handling • Back up power • Military
3 Advantages of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technologies
Low or Zero emissions
Resilient, reliable, and scalable
Uses domestic fuels – both conventional or renewable
Can partner with batteries, solar, wind, and other renewable technologies
American innovative technology
4 Fuel Cell Vehicles
Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise FCVs are the only electric vehicle that replicates today’s drivers experience of traveling 300-400 miles on a single tank and refueling in just three to five minutes, while having zero tailpipe emissions

9 California Progress
• A.B 8 provides $20 million per year to build 100 hydrogen fueling stations through 2024
• 35 hydrogen stations open as of end of July and another 29 in development
• In January, Governor Brown Issued an Executive Order to increase CA’s commitment to zero-emission vehicle and double its hydrogen station goal to 200 by 2025 • Station rollout is based on a cluster and

• 12 stations in development in the northeast supported by Air Liquide and Toyota
• Initial launch will be in Boston and New York City metropolitan areas
11 Beyond Light-Duty Vehicles Fuel cell vehicles are taking off for all transportation applications…
12 Beyond Light-Duty Vehicles
13 Why invest in hydrogen?
Governors of eight states signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deploy 3.3 million ZEVs on roads by 2025
+Includes both BEVs and FCVs in the MOU
California says… “We do not see a way to meet our state’s transportation, environmental, or air-quality goals with out fuel cells and hydrogen as part of the mix.”
14 What can you do to help?
Support state fuel cell and hydrogen energy policies…
Provide financial and non-financial incentives Incentives for infrastructure Consumer incentives HOV lane access, and others Station siting & permitting Harmonization of codes, standards, and safety regulations
Development of FCV fleets
Inclusion of fuel cell systems as eligible technologies in your state’s Environmental and Energy Policies
