Democrats in the Californian state Legislature are debating how much money to give companies to build hydrogen fueling stations. A lobbying group for hydrogen supporters and suppliers, including Chevron, Shell and Toyota, is seeking a designated 30% share of money from the state Clean Transportation program, amounting to $300 million over the next decade, the Calmatters reported on 18 August.
Over the last decade, hydrogen has been earmarked for 20% of its funds. So far, the California Energy Commission has spent $202 million for hydrogen fueling stations. The state’s funding has helped create a network of just 65 hydrogen furling stations, 20 of them in Los Angeles County.
