4:30pm–5:30pm / Writers Boot Camp, 2525 Michigan Avenue, Building I (Morkaba room), Santa Monica, CA 90404 — Meeting the Goal of 100 Retail Hydrogen Stations - In December 2015, The Energy Commission and Air Resources Board published a joint report, Assessment of Time and Cost Needed to Attain 100 Hydrogen Refueling Stations in California. The report found that costs for early market hydrogen refueling stations are high and equipment costs are not expected to decrease significantly in the near term, but have the potential to decrease by 50 percent through 2025. The report concludes that California will attain the 100-hydrogen-refueling-station goal between 2020 and 2024, depending on market conditions and consumer response to FCEVs, and that $157 million to $170 million in cumulative ARFVTP incentive funding will be needed. Public and private funds will be needed to reduce costs and accelerate station development. Register below.
