“When people ask me what hydrogen means for the economy, I point to the paychecks,” said Bill Elrick, Executive Director of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership. “Contractors, pipefitters, electricians, plant operators, manufacturing workers, and others are earning a living on hydrogen today, in California and well beyond it. Every station we build and every facility we open widens that pipeline, and the skills these workers gain carry across the entire energy economy. That's what a durable industry looks like.”

That was the throughline of our July 30 webinar on the Guiding Principles for Hydrogen Truck Market Development, where David Park, Industry Affairs Director at the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP), and James Kast, General Manager of Iwatani Corporation of America and a member of our board of directors, walked members through the findings behind our recently published white paper.

The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) tracks every public hydrogen station's status through one tool: the Station Operational Status System, or SOSS. Drivers check it before they head to a station. Station operators use it to report outages. Members use it to spot network trends. State agencies and Low Carbon Fuel Standard reporting participants rely on it too, and so…

Washington State's Department of Ecology has launched a new funding mechanism designed to address one of the biggest barriers to hydrogen and electric vehicle adoption: upfront capital costs.

The First Public Hydrogen Authority (FPH2) has launched a competitive solicitation for low-carbon hydrogen fuel, aggregating demand across California public agencies to secure competitively priced fuel for zero-emission buses, trains, and heavy-duty vehicles. RFP 01-26 invites qualified suppliers to provide low-carbon hydrogen fuel for public agencies and other participating end users transitioning to zero-emission operations. Proposals are due August 19…

Hydrogen developers and fleet operators eyeing the Central Coast have a new funding window. The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) recently opened applications for its 2026 Clean Air Grant Program, with approximately $2.3 million available for voluntary projects that cut emissions and accelerate cleaner technologies.

CSA Group has released a draft standard addressing a critical gap in hydrogen safety: training for the people who respond when something goes wrong.

Clean hydrogen production keeps climbing, but a less visible problem is starting to slow adoption down: getting that hydrogen stored, stabilized, and delivered efficiently once it's made. A new analysis from GenH2 argues that storage infrastructure, not generation capacity, is the real constraint on hydrogen's role in a decentralized energy grid.

The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) recently published guiding principles for the hydrogen truck market, and we want your feedback.

The hydrogen infrastructure build-out is happening station by station, corridor by corridor, and increasingly through a mix of public investment, private capital, utility leadership, and fleet demand.
