Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Linde North America has announced it will build two publicly-accessible hydrogen stations in Northern California, courtesy of a $4.3 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC).

One of the stations will be at Oakland International Airport while the other will be about twenty miles east in San Ramon, next to Toyota's regional office and parts distribution center for the San Francisco Bay Area. Toyota is going to release a production fuel cell vehicle next year, first in Japan, then in the U.S. (limited to California at the beginning).

The California Air Resources Board recently outlined the Golden State's intention to spend $50 million on getting 28 hydrogen refueling stations up and running by the end of next year and as many as a hundred new stations added during the next decade. Nineteen of those will be built through a partnership between Toyota and FirstElement Fuel Inc.
