Autoparts Report - California Fuel Cell Partnership Adds Four More Firms To Build Hydrogen Fueling Stations - Brief ArticleThe California Fuel Cell Partnership, a public-private venture to demonstrate fuel cell vehicles in California and explore the path to commercialization, said that it signed up four additional companies with expertise in developing hydrogen fueling stations.
The companies -- Hydrogen Burner Technology, Pacific Gas and Electric, Proton Energy Systems, Inc., and Stuart Energy Systems -- have been invited by the Partnership's executive committee to join as Associate Partners. They will assist in exploring the development of a hydrogen fueling infrastructure in California, and will each provide at least one hydrogen fueling station for the Partnership's demonstration program.
The Partnership -- which formally began in April 1999 -- includes auto manufacturers (DaimlerChrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen), energy providers (BP, Shell, Texaco), fuel cell companies (Ballard Power Systems, International Fuel Cells, and XCELLSiS), and government agencies (the California Air Resources Board, California Energy Commission, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Transportation, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District).
