Clean Energy to establish new H2 station for Riverside Transit Agency
Published on: Dec 11, 2024
The location will support California’s growing hydrogen bus fleet with a new fueling infrastructure and hydrogen supply.
Clean Energy has been awarded the contract to design and construct a new hydrogen fueling station for Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) in California.
The contract was won following a competitive solicitation and also includes the supply of hydrogen and maintenance services for the private access, purpose-built station located in Riverside. RTA plans to initially operate five fuel cell buses when the station opens and will grow its fleet to over 100 hydrogen-powered buses over the next decade.
“Being awarded another hydrogen station is a testament to Clean Energy’s leadership and expertise in the hydrogen fueling space. Partnering with the forward-thinking team at Riverside Transit is a great feather in our hat as they transition, expand and diversify to other clean, low emissions technologies,” said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president of Clean Energy.
The announcement follows news that RTA will purchase five 40-foot hydrogen fuel cell electric buses after being awarded a $5.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
This is the second hydrogen station project Clean Energy has been awarded recently with the first build successfully completed for Foothill Transit Agency in Pomona, CA, in June 2023.
