California Hydrogen Highway
The California Hydrogen Highway is a series of hydrogen refueling stations in California. These stations are used to refuel hydrogen vehicles. As of August 2020[update], there were 42 publicly accessible hydrogen refueling stations in California.[1]
History
The California Hydrogen Highway Network (CaH2Net) was initiated in April 2004 by Executive Order (EO) S-07-04 under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with the purpose of promoting hydrogen refueling stations in California.[2]
In September 2006, California Senate Bill 1505 required 33% of hydrogen to come from renewable energy sources,[3][4] and other initiatives followed.[5] As of 2007, 25 stations were in operation.[6] Some of these hydrogen fueling stations completed the terms of their government-funded research demonstration project and were decommissioned.[7] In 2012, there were 23 hydrogen fueling stations in California,[8] eight of which were publicly accessible.[9][10]
In 2013 Governor Brown signed AB 8, a bill to fund $20 million a year for up to 100 stations.[11][12] As of September 2022[update], there were 53 publicly accessible hydrogen fueling stations in California (one station in Hawaii was the only other publlicly accessible hydrogen station in the US).[13]
