West Coast Leaders Double Down on Bold Actions to Fight Climate Crisis; California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia sign Statement of Cooperation (SOC) to advance climate partnership and support equitable, low-carbon future
In the latest of several climate partnerships among Pacific Coast governments, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia signed a new Statement of Cooperation Thursday recommitting the region to climate action.
Statement of Cooperation excerpts:
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS:
2.2. Accelerate the transition to regional zero-emission transportation by investing in electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling stations.

California: GCTD’S Zero Emissions Transition Efforts Backed by $12.1 Million FTA Grant
California Launches Statewide Alliance to Establish Federally Co-Funded Hydrogen Hub
Hydrogen provides an extremely promising pathway to eradicate toxic and carcinogenic diesel emissions and the burden they create on frontline communities throughout the state,” said Eli Lipmen, Executive Director of Move LA, a coalition building nonprofit. “We look forward to continue working with ARCHES to further build a coalition that will ensure these historic investments deliver direct benefits to our most impacted communities.”
This partnership relies on the globally recognized intellectual capital of the entire University of California (UC) System and the three National Labs that the UC oversees—in partnership with the State of California, leading cities, organized labor, industry, and NGOs—with a foundation of strong state policies, in collaboration with the communities all of us serve.
“One of the key lessons we’ve learned in the more than twenty years of the California Fuel Cell Partnership (now the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership) is that success requires active collaboration between government, industry, NGOs, and communities,” said Joe Cappello, Chair, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership and CEO of Iwatani of North America. “ARCHES is set up to foster partnerships like we have, and our members are committed to its success in California and beyond.”

Four electrolyser gigafactories to be built in France as part of €2.1bn state-aid hydrogen push
Electrolyser makers McPhy, Genvia, Elogen and John Cockerill will build new gigafactories in France after being allocated millions of euros of public funding as part of a €2.1bn ($2.05bn) state-aid push to make the country “the world leader in carbon-free hydrogen”.
The money will be split between ten French hydrogen companies, with a particular focus on electrolysis and equipment for commercial fuel-cell trucks (details below), Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne revealed in a speech this week.
California Sets The Standard for Fuel Cell Vehicles in The US
The state’s outlook is optimistic: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) predicts that by 2050, 25% of the new light vehicle market will be fuel cells. If this goal is to be realized, CaFCP has a lot more work to do.

Nel granted $5.6m in funding from US Department of Defence to develop PEM electrolyser technology
In collaboration with the [U.S. Army's] Engineer Research and Development Centre-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), the 19-month project will focus on reducing the operating and capital costs of electrolysers.
Rinnai and Toyota Start Exploring Hydrogen-Powered Cooking Methods
Hyundai Motor to bring 1,700 hydrogen cars to Jeju by 2030
Building such infrastructure will allow the carmaker to deliver 200 garbage trucks, 300 public buses and 1,200 commercial cars to Jeju, all powered by hydrogen. From next year, Hyundai Motor will start supplying hydrogen fuel-cell buses, as well as setting up portable hydrogen charging stations for its flagship hydrogen fuel cell model Nexo.
HyCET research project: Consortium promotes sustainable transport logistics using hydrogen trucks
Munich. A sustainable transport project with long-distance potential: In September 2022, the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) approved the funding application for the consortium research project HyCET (Hydrogen Combustion Engine Trucks) led by the BMW Group. The other HyCET project partners are DEUTZ AG, DHL Freight GmbH, KEYOU GmbH, TotalEnergies Marketing Deutschland GmbH and Volvo Group.
The research project aims to demonstrate the sustainability potential of trucks with hydrogen combustion engines for transport logistics.
EQC votes to expand the Oregon Clean Fuels Program
Expanding these targets will:
• Provide lower-carbon fuel providers with valuable incentives to continue to bring their products to Oregon
• Increase the availability and lower the cost of low-carbon liquid fuels that can be used by existing internal combustion engines
• Bring down the cost of the transition to zero emission technologies like electric and fuel cell vehicles
Halifax & Hamburg sign deal to decarbonise shipping corridor
Canada will stop being global hydrogen leader without rapid federal follow-through right now
To make sure we don’t lose investment and potential to the U.S., the government must develop a supportive ecosystem, incentivize hydrogen production, and encourage hydrogen demand.
Toyota, Hyundai to Sell Hydrogen-Fueled Passenger Cars in China
Ballard inks contract with Stadler to supply fuel cell engines to power first hydrogen train in United States
Hydrogen has a vital role in low-carbon heating; It will be quick to repurpose the gas grid and decarbonise millions of properties, says Prof Gordon E Andrews
More than 20 countries agree to boost low-emission hydrogen output by 2030
More than 20 countries, led by Japan, have agreed to boost output of low-emission hydrogen to at least 90 million tonnes a year by 2030 from 1 million tonnes now, the Japanese industry ministry said on Monday.
The agreement between countries including the United States, Australia and Germany came at the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting in Tokyo.
Cummins' fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell engine, LFP battery pack and newly acquired Meritor ePowertrain technologies are making their debut.
One key zero-emissions product Cummins revealed at IAA is its fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell engine. Designed to meet the duty-cycle, performance and packaging requirements of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, the fuel cell technology is available in 135 kW single and 270 kW dual modules.
Scania in Europe and Daimler Trucks North America have each announced collaborations with Cummins to develop and integrate these next-generation fuel cell engines into demonstrator vehicles.
Multiple Efforts Underway to Mainstream Hydrogen Fuel
The group also initiated a new national hydrogen mobility strategy to accelerate the expansion of national hydrogen production and distribution to support heavy-duty trucking and light-duty rollout across the United States. The strategy is intended to enable the necessary links between ports, key commercial and urban centers, and hydrogen hubs across the United States and ideally, North America.
SoCalGas Successfully Tests Microgrid Demonstration Project in Downey
The [H2] Innovation Experience features a nearly 2,000 square-foot home that can use reliable and clean hydrogen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, by drawing power from solar panels on sunny days and converting excess energy into renewable hydrogen, which can be stored and then converted back into electricity, as needed, via an on-site hydrogen fuel cell. Hydrogen will also be blended with natural gas and used in the home's tank-less water heater, clothes dryer, and gas stove, fireplace and BBQ grill. The home is being constructed to LEED Platinum standards.
