Pasadena startup seeks concrete solutions to cement’s carbon problem Cement plants still spew greenhouse gas. But that has to change, as state deadlines loom.
Toyota Mirai drivers consider the car their daily workhorse; Sales of the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle may be small since its launch eight years ago, but those owners are using their cars in a big way.
More than 9 in 10 owners (92 percent) use their Mirais as their primary household vehicles, said Craig Scott, director of fuel cell solutions for Toyota Motor North America. Scott said less than two-thirds of battery-electric vehicle owners say the same.
First hydrogen-powered transit bus in LA County hits streets in December, starting new trend
The first hydrogen-powered public bus in Los Angeles County will go into service early next month, a historic milestone that will unleash an army of similar, zero-emission buses that don’t connect to the power grid and run longer without refueling.
California Releases World’s First Plan to Achieve Net Zero Carbon Pollution
“The California Hydrogen Coalition supports the Scoping Plan’s bold framework of action that is inclusive of clean and renewable hydrogen. Paired with Governor Newsom’s and the Legislature’s creation of ARCHES to leverage federal funding opportunities, the Scoping Plan supports hydrogen as a mitigation tool for short-lived but potent methane emissions and the management of biomass without combustion in addition to enabling deeper penetration of renewable electricity by providing greater grid resiliency and reliability. Decarbonized and renewable hydrogen in fuel cells for zero-emission transportation, transit, goods movement, industrial activities, and power will enable California to cost-effectively achieve carbon neutrality. We look forward to CARB adopting the Scoping Plan.” – Teresa Cooke, Executive Director, California Hydrogen Coalition
Green hydrogen for the decarbonization of Chile: certification as an essential step
Portugal seeks to become major exporter of green hydrogen

Nel and GM collaborate on cost competitive renewable hydrogen production
GM is developing and commercializing both HYDROTEC hydrogen fuel cell and Ultium battery technologies that deliver where it matters most: performance and cost. This is opening new revenue potential for GM as industries – including freight trucking, aerospace, power generation and locomotive – turn to GM to improve performance and reduce emissions.
As GM has made major steps and gained expertise with fuel cells, the two companies see substantial synergies by transferring this to Nel’s PEM platform.

One project was selected from California State University, Los Angeles, which is also a federally recognized HSI and AANAPISI.
Hydrogen fuel cells seek transport niches EVs can’t reach
Scholz ups global hydrogen ambitions, dwarfs EU initiative
“We are adapting our plans for domestic production of green hydrogen from five gigawatts to ten gigawatts of electrolyser capacity by 2030,” Scholz noted.
“This will only meet one-third of the expected demand. The majority needs to come from abroad.”
