Policy and Funding

This page last reviewed January 20, 2012

Below you will find information about the State's actions to fund hydrogen stations, cars and shuttle buses and transit buses.

  • Initial California Hydrogen Highway Infrastructure funding provided over $25 million for hydrogen transit buses, light duty passenger vehicles, and hydrogen stations. The State has provided co-funding for 9 stations.
  • Assembly Bill 118 (Nuñez Statutes of 2007) directs the California Energy Commission to prepare periodic Investment Plans for the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program. The program makes available approximately $100 million to co-fund alternative fuels projects, a portion of which has been set aside for hydrogen infrastructure. Check out the CEC "Drive" web site for more information.
