Shell opens new hydrogen fuelling station in California

The 37th retail hydrogen station in California opened last week at a Shell site.

The station, developed by Shell, will be open 24 hours a day and is located in Citrus Heights, California, according to the California Fuel Cell Partnership.

Reflecting the ongoing evolution of hydrogen stations across California and the growing number of fuel cell electric cars, there more than 5,600 now, the station is one of a few that has two nozzles at H70.

The Citrus Heights station joins the West Sacramento station to support fuel cell electric car drivers in the area. Another hydrogen station in Sacramento is expected to open in the near future.

Two more hydrogen fuelling sites developed by Air Liquide opened this week in California, bringing the total number to 39 – one in Palo Alto and another in Los Angeles.
