In 2003, House Joint Memorial 6 requested that the legislature support state action to
reinforce hydrogen and fuel cell research and the development of related fuel cell
industry clusters in New Mexico. The New Mexico Economic Development Department
was chartered to develop a statewide plan for fuel cell R&D.
In 2004, House Bill 251 (Advanced Energy Technologies Economic Development Act)
was signed into law to provide funds to stimulate the market for and promote the
statewide utilization of advanced energy technologies. Under the Act, a targeted
program was outlined to foster the development of hydrogen and fuel cell-related
commercialization and economic development in the state. This program includes:
• Establishment of a public-private partnership between the state, national
laboratories, nonprofit organizations and the hydrogen and fuel cell
technologies industry sector to provide guidance and support for hydrogen
and fuel cell initiatives;
• Supporting activities to adopt uniform hydrogen safety codes and standards
and provide education and training to communicate these codes and
standards to the appropriate fire and regulatory entities;
