As a leader in sustainable energy innovation, the City of Lancaster in collaboration with the City of Industry is excited to introduce an opportunity to shape the future of energy through our latest venture --- First Public Hydrogen Authority. We are on the cusp of establishing this pioneering public utility to transform the renewable hydrogen landscape. FPH2 will
serve as a critical nexus, connecting producers and off-takers within the renewable hydrogen sector, ensuring a seamless, transparent marketplace that accelerates the adoption and integration of hydrogen-based solutions.
We invite forward-thinking entities to engage with us as we explore the full potential of green hydrogen through this Request for Information (RFI). The City is seeking detailed insights and competitive indicative pricing from industry leaders and innovators for the production, distribution, storage, and utilization of clean hydrogen. Target areas include transportation, goods movement, transit, industrial applications, and both mobile and stationary energy sectors.
Your responses will be invaluable as we lay the groundwork for a robust hydrogen economy, helping to establish a prequalified vendor list poised for subsequent Requests for Proposals tailored to specific end-user and off-taker needs. This initiative not only aims to streamline transactions but also to foster a transparent process that propels the growth of the
hydrogen economy.
Join us in this transformative journey as we finalize strategic partnerships, secure robust supply chains, and set the stage for FPH2’s operational launch in the next three to six months. Be part of a sustainable future that harnesses the power of renewable hydrogen to revolutionize our energy systems and environmental footprint.
