2. 2030 Roadmap – Accelerating the Market
CaFCP members are developing a consensus document to describe the actions needed to accelerate the market for FCEVs and hydrogen infrastructure. The small team writing the document will present their main messages, introduce mechanisms and levers the roadmap identifies as those that will encourage a self-sustaining market, and discuss how the Governor’s new executive order feeds into the roadmap.

|
3. Achieving Scale
The market activation group identified several tactics to encourage market growth, reduce station and fuel costs, and support 2030 and 2050 California objectives. How would these be implemented and what other considerations do we need to make about existing or novel market-based mechanisms that could spur private investment?

4. Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles
The transition to natural gas was incented with mechanisms that included sales and use tax exemptions, infrastructure grants, and point-of-sale rebates that offset the cost of replacing conventional vehicles. What can those policies and actions teach us about jump-starting the transition to hydrogen in trucks and buses? What do early-market actors need now to be interested in fuel cells and heavy-duty stations?

5. Hydrogen Production
New hydrogen production dedicated to light- and heavy-duty applications is vital as early market expansion increases fuel demand increases. How do we stimulate renewables while keeping costs down for the consumer in early market conditions? What levers were successful in starting the market for renewable natural gas and which mechanisms might expedite cost-competitive renewable hydrogen?
|
|
|
6. Grid and Utilities
Hydrogen has the opportunity to enhance electrical grid services and renewable penetration via storage, quick-response rates, and resiliency. Some regions already include hydrogen in the grid portfolio. Do California’s electric utilities see hydrogen as an opportunity or a potential threat? Where might hydrogen and electricity work complimentary toward long-term needs and goals?
