The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) is pleased to welcome three new members whose work spans clean fuel production, commercial market structure, and on-site refueling infrastructure.
Each one fills a different role between hydrogen's potential and hydrogen at scale:
Avina Clean Hydrogen [Associate Member]
Avina develops, owns, and operates clean fuel infrastructure serving the ground transportation, aviation, and maritime sectors. In Southern California, the company is nearing commercial operations of its electrolytic hydrogen production and refueling facility in Vernon, located just ten miles from the Port of Long Beach. The facility is designed to produce up to 4 metric tons of compressed hydrogen per day: enough to fuel approximately 100 heavy-duty trucks and buses—while reducing an estimated 130,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually in communities most impacted by air pollution.
Building on the Vernon model, Avina is also advancing plans to develop similar hydrogen production and refueling facilities across California to support the state's growing demand for clean hydrogen and zero-emission transportation. Beyond California, Avina is developing a clean ammonia facility on the Texas Gulf Coast and a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project at Pittsburgh International Airport.
PACC Services [Associate]
PACC works on the commercial side of the hydrogen market. The company structures long-term offtake and pricing frameworks, aggregates regional demand, and aligns logistics to reduce delivered cost. Its premise is blunt: markets do not scale without structure.
That approach is already at work in California. In December 2025, K2 Pure Solutions named PACC its exclusive marketing and distribution partner for low-carbon hydrogen from K2's Pittsburg facility, handling customer engagement, offtake development, and distribution across transportation, industrial, and power markets.
HydrogenXT [Associate]
Houston-based HydrogenXT builds on-site hydrogen production and dispensing stations called NeXTstops. These micro plants pair steam methane reforming with carbon capture and renewable gas blending on the footprint of a typical truck stop, and the company reports that the model delivers zero-carbon-intensity hydrogen while eliminating delivery costs. Target customers include trucking fleets, transit agencies, ports, data centers, and government clean energy programs.
HydrogenXT's first NeXTstop project in Avenal, California, located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, is backed by an $88 million capital stack and positions the company to serve one of the country's busiest freight corridors.
“Avina, PACC, and HydrogenXT each strengthen a different link in the chain, from production to commercial structure to the stations where drivers fuel up,” said Bill Elrick, Executive Director of H2FCP. “Their decision to join H2FCP says something about where this industry is headed. Capital is moving, projects are breaking ground, and the partnerships formed now will determine how fast hydrogen scales.”
There’s never been a better time to join H2FCP - turbocharge the hydrogen future today!
