Energy Department Moves on Hydrogen Refueling Stations in California

Kalibrate Technologies has announced that it has been awarded a contract by the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL to identify the infrastructure for placing hydrogen refueling stations throughout the state of California.

Currently there are only 9 hydrogen stations available to the public in California, home to 38 million people and is the largest state in the U.S.

The demand is coming.

Automobile manufacturers will be releasing hydrogen vehicles for sale to the public beginning this spring. In addition to the environmental benefits and zero tailpipe emissions, a major advantage that hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) will have over gasoline vehicles is their gas mileage.

By some estimates, FCEVs realize fuel economies that are more than twice that of today’s conventional gasoline vehicles.

In addition, FCEVs have the quiet, smooth drive of battery electric vehicles with the range, size and rapid fill-up times of conventional gasoline vehicles.

Hydrogen can be produced from any primary energy resource, including low-carbon sources such as renewables, nuclear and fossil with carbon capture and storage.
