California funds construction of 15 new hydrogen stations
California to have 15 new hydrogen fuelling stations after the California Energy Commission selects projects.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has selected 15 hydrogen fuelling station projects and will hand $31.7 million in combined funding, as well as a one connector station project worth $1.5 million, reports NGT News.
Eight of the fuelling stations for hydrogen-powered vehicles will be built by First Element Fuel, which already participated in a similar project with CEC in 2015.
As PetrolPlaza reported, the remaining seven stations will be build by a partnership of Shell and Toyota, receiving over $16 million in funding from CEC.
California has been a long supporter of zero emission vehicles and alternative fuels. It has a strong electric vehicle network and is now focusing on the development of a successful hydrogen fuelling market.
