Join the California Fuel Cell Partnership and many other stakeholders, including the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), in celebrating the value and benefits fuel cells and hydrogen energy technology.

In recognition of the benefits of fuel cell and hydrogen energy technology, industry, friends, and supporters are celebrating National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day to help raise awareness of a clean energy technology that is here now. October 8th was chosen as a reference to the of the atomic weight of Hydrogen, 1.008.

The California Fuel Cell Partnership and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have teamed up to present a developed national hydrogen safety training resource for emergency responders at the 2015 FireShows West at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on October 8, 2015 from 1:00pm – 3:30pm. Jennifer Hamilton will deliver a course which is a hybrid of the national resource and the California Fuel Cell Partnership’s information.

CaFCP staff will take part in the 2015 Continuing Challenge three-day workshop September 8-11, 2015 at the Red Lion Woodlake Hotel, Sacramento, CA. CaFCP staff Jennifer Hamilton, James L. Bryan with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will be presenting on Friday, September 11, 2015 from 8:00am- 12:00pm on hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicle education. The course is designed to educate first responders about hydrogen and fuel cells electric vehicles, and to provide appropriate safety and emergency response information.

CaFCP staff will take part in the 2015 Pacific Oil Conference at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live September 8-10, 2015. This conference is geared towards independent petroleum marketers and convenience store retailers throughout the western United States. During the three-day conference attendees will take part in unmatched education, nonstop networking, innovative ideas, and unique purchasing opportunities. CaFCP staff will be on hand to discuss the growing hydrogen fueling network in cities across California.

CaFCP will take part in the 2015 Fuels Institute Annual Meeting, September 23-25, 2015 at the Conrad Hotel in Indianapolis, IN. During the annual meeting CaFCP staff will talk about the growing hydrogen fueling network in California along with the recent announcements from automakers on the rollout plans for FCVs on California roads.

CaFCP members, will be participating in the 2015 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Refueling Summit, September 22 – 23, 2015 at the Conrad Hotel in Indianapolis, IN. During the two-day summit, industry leaders, OEMOriginal Equipment Manufacturer manufacturers, station developers, and national labs will come together to educate fuel retailers/marketers across the country on hydrogen FCVs and fueling basics as well as the growing hydrogen fueling network in California and other parts of the states.

CaFCP will be on hand with a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) at the STEAM Carnival, a family-friendly event designed to provide children with fun, hands-on activities in carnival environment to spark interest in careers in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics. Tickets are $5 in advance (kids under three years of age are free).

This free training is open to Fire Department Training Officers and Trainers only.
In the near future a commercial hydrogen fueling infrastructure (and other associated facilities) will be coming to your area.
Several of these proposed stations will be located in the greater
Los Angeles and Orange Counties. http://cafcp.org/stationmap
This class will take trainers through the National Program and discuss topics such as:
- Overview of hydrogen properties and safety
- Hydrogen vehicle and station safety

This free training is open to code officials, project developers, municipal planners only.
In the next five years a commercial hydrogen fueling infrastructure (and other associated facilities) will be constructed in California.
Several of these proposed stations will be located in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.
This training will include the following topics:
- Overview of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCV) and hydrogen fueling stations
- Codes and Standards for hydrogen technologies infrastructure

The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a sponsor.
This dedicated hydrogen energy storage (HES) workshop will create the economic understanding of the roles that HES and power to gas (P2G) can play in the provision of grid services. The workshop will explore the details that allow hydrogen solutions to play at the industry energy storage table. This will be done through review of the CHBC HES White Paper and use cases, and development of CHBC messages on HES and grid services.
The workshop will identify projects needed to meet DOE, CEC, PUC and other stakeholder needs.
