April 4, 2019 CaFCP Public Forum

2. Progress and Visibility for the Fuel Cell Revolution
2019 should be a transformative year for hydrogen and fuel cells, and the board will hear about progress from the three priority areas for achieving the 2030 vision identified during the October board meeting, changes related to the new governor’s administration, and an opportunity to dramatically increase awareness for hydrogen and fuel cells in California. The board will consider a proposal to showcase CaFCP’s 20th anniversary and increase awareness for the organization’s activities and the commercial rollout.
 

3. Enabling the Market through Expanded Communications and Outreach
Through the development of the 2030 vision and priority team discussions it has become clear significantly greater awareness, and support, is needed for successful scaled deployment of hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell vehicles. The board will consider a proposal for an expanded 2019 CaFCP outreach strategy to highlight the market readiness of FCEVs and develop the self-sustaining market envisioned in the 2030 Fuel Cell Revolution. The board will discuss and determine action on activities that are currently outside the 2019 scope and budget.
 

4. Impact Beyond California
CaFCP members have discussed the need to spread California’s experience and success beyond the borders to achieve full market potential. CaFCP and members have been working on expanded collaboration activities and will present updates and recommendations for additional activities with H2USA, other western states and global organizations.
 

5. Market Introduction and Expansion for Heavy Duty Applications
Heavy-duty FC buses are nearing market competitiveness and FC trucks are entering pilot projects and showing great promise. Market opportunity awareness among stakeholders and hydrogen infrastructure development could make or break the successful deployment of this important technology application. The board will hear a proposal on the opportunities, needs and potential strategies for trucks and buses, and provide direction for CaFCP’s role in these applications. The board will discuss and determine action on activities that are currently outside the 2019 scope and budget.
