Published on: Jun 3, 2024
The sites will be prepared to refuel approximately 200 heavy-duty Trucks or 2,000 light-duty vehicles daily.
Air Products announced its plans to build a network of commercial-scale and multi-modal hydrogen refueling stations stretching from Northern to Southern California.
Eric Guter, Air Products’ Vice President, Hydrogen for Mobility, made the announcement during his keynote address at the California Hydrogen Convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The sites will be equipped to serve heavy-duty vehicles, such as commercial and municipal trucks and buses, as well light-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
“California is a leader in the energy transition and a first-mover in making zero-emission, heavy-duty transportation in the U.S. a reality. As the world’s largest supplier of hydrogen, Air Products has committed to investing $15 billion by 2027 in clean energy megaprojects around the world,” said Guter.
The new stations announced are set to deliver enhanced fueling technology capability, including significantly higher capacity, multiple fueling dispensers and service for both heavy- and light-duty vehicles.
According to the announcement, each location will have a capacity to fuel up to 200 heavy-duty trucks or 2,000 light-duty vehicles per day.
The news follows Air Products’ plans to build a network of hydrogen stations across Canada, connecting Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.
