2018 in Review

2018 was a year of change and growth in the hydrogen and fuel cell world. We saw a significant increase in activity across the globe last year and we wanted to share the top stories with you.

The LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) hydrogen station is open for business! It is the 39th retail hydrogen station in California and is located in the greater West Los Angeles area.

Questions about SOSS

Does SOSS show the price per kg at the station? Should you call the station?

On this National Hydrogen Day, we’re introducing you to a few of the people who work behind the scenes, day in and day out. They, and thousands of people like them around the world, help make fuel cell electric vehicles and hydrogen stations a reality.

The California Air Resources Board released its 2018 Annual Evaluation of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Deployment and Hydrogen Fuel Station Network Development that documents the growth in hydrogen stations and FCEVs over the past year. On August 30 CaFCP hosted a webinar about the report.

Questions about Revolution Projections

If the 2030 goal is 1,000,000 FCEVs and 1,000 stations, how many vehicles to you expect each station to handle?

FROM THE AIR PRODUCTS TEAM:

"Air Products would like to provide an update to hydrogen fueling customers affected by an unexpected disruption to our hydrogen supply chain. We are actively working to resolve this unexpected disruption, which has been caused by a contemporaneous series of unrelated issues at several liquid hydrogen production and supply sites. We are addressing the matter as rapidly as we can and are hopeful to have the situation remedied and have restored regular hydrogen supply in the early days of August. We regret any inconvenience that may have resulted.
