“This is what happens when the industry stops working in silos,” said Bill Elrick, Executive Director of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership. “California proved the hydrogen fuel cell truck market works. Now we're seeing Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Baja California align around the same infrastructure and technical standards. That's a significant breakthrough.”

The California Energy Commission (CEC) wants to fund small-scale 3hydrogen production sited right where the hydrogen gets used. Applications are due 09/18/26:

The California Energy Commission (CEC) wants to fund small-scale hydrogen production sited right where the hydrogen gets used. GFO-25-308, Distributed Clean Hydrogen Production with Onsite End Use, will fund demonstration projects up to five metric tons per day that co-locate production, storage, an...

Deadline approaching: H2FCP's SOSS modernization RFI closes September 15.

If your team builds real-time systems and wants a project that touches the whole hydrogen station network, this is it:

The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP) tracks every public hydrogen station's status through one tool: the Station Operational Status System, or SOSS. Drivers check it before they head to a station. Station operators use it to report outages. Members use it to spot network trends. State agencies...

is no longer theoretical. It's operational. Which means the work now is about who gets access to the people making infrastructure decisions, who has real-time data on station status, and who sits on the committees setting codes and standards.

H2FCP members get all three. Direct access to policymakers. Real-time SOSS station data. Seats on technical committees and working groups. Champion-level members help steer the strategic and regulatory work shaping the market. If your business depends on hydrogen scaling, you need to be here.

Using a novel heating method that cuts carbon emissions, Stanford engineers dramatically improved production efficiency.

The process also comes with a surprising side benefit: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/09/sustainable-hydrogen-production-heating-method

Fuel cell vehicles are moving more than 300 miles on a single fill. Buses are running daily routes for AC Transit, OCTA, and SunLine. Fuel cell trucks are hauling freight through California's ports right now.

The network isn't a promise anymore: it's a network operators use every day. The technology question was settled years ago. The work now is scaling fast enough to meet demand. Ready to help build the hydrogen future? Learn about H2FCP membership at h2fcp.org/join-us

“This paper is the kind of institutional memory our industry can't afford to lose,” said Bill Elrick, H2FCP's executive director. “Sunita spent two decades building the federal program from the ground up, and now she's made sure at least part of the record survives the office that produced it.”

jobs are reaching the communities that need them most. In H2FCP's workforce survey, 80% of station developers reported building in priority communities.

That's infrastructure investment paying off twice, in clean fuel access and in local paychecks: https://h2fcp.org/blog/hydrogen-jobs-engine-and-work-has-already-started

ICYMI: The California Energy Commission recently approved a $95.2 million investment plan to continue the state's buildout of zero-emission vehicle infrastructure.

For , $15 million goes directly to refueling infrastructure, as part of a broader package that also funds electric-vehicle charging and workforce training:

For hydrogen, $15 million of that total goes directly to refueling infrastructure, as part of a broader package that also funds electric-vehicle charging and workforce training.
