The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the signing of a $12.6 billion agreement, including up to $1.2 billion from the DOE and $11.4 billion in public and private matching funds, to accelerate clean hydrogen projects throughout California<\/strong>. Within the plan, an initiative aiming to deploy over 1,000 fuel cell buses is in place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Flyer hydrogen buses have been ordered so far in California by Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)<\/a> and San Francisco Bay Area\u2019s AC Transit<\/a>. In California all new sales of transit buses must be zero-emission by 2030 in the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel cell bus figures grew strongly in 2023 in the USA, showing a 76% increase (from 211 to 327 units)<\/a> according to CALSTART report. 2023 data highlights California<\/strong>\u2018s continued leadership in the nationwide adoption of Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs), with a count of 1,946, representing 32 percent of all ZEBs across the country<\/strong>. It\u2019s no surprise, as all new sales of transit buses must be zero-emission by 2030 in the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARCHES\u2019 1,000-Bus Initiative goes live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This funding supports the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems<\/strong> (ARCHES) in establishing a leading hydrogen hub in the state and aims to significantly reduce California’s dependence on fossil fuels, paving the way for a carbon-neutral economy by 2045. Selected last October as one of seven recipients of the DOE’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs), ARCHES is pioneering a national network connecting clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and infrastructure, marking a crucial milestone in advancing sustainable energy solutions across the United States. Notably, ARCHES is the first of the H2 Hubs to successfully secure a contract with the DOE, allowing it to advance to Phase 1 planning activities.

As a key partner of the ARCHES team, the Center\u00a0for\u00a0Transportation\u00a0and the Environment <\/strong>(CTE) is proud to spearhead ARCHES\u2019 1,000-Bus Initiative. This ambitious project involves deploying more than 1,000 fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) across 13 California transit agencies over the next five to eight years<\/strong>. It also includes the construction or upgrade of 19 refueling and maintenance facilities<\/strong> essential for supporting these buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CTE\u2019s California office will be engaged in developing the strategic plan for and executing the deployment of 5,000 Class 8 fuel cell electric trucks and their supporting infrastructure.

“We are honored to be a part of the ARCHES team and contribute to the country\u2019s growing hydrogen economy,” said Dan Raudebaugh<\/strong>, Executive Director, CTE. “The DOE’s substantial investment underscores the importance of hydrogen as a key component of our clean energy future. CTE is dedicated to driving innovation and collaboration to support our shared vision of a sustainable, zero-emission U.S. transportation system.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
