California Hydrogen Highway Network (Ca H2 Net)
www.hydrogenhighway.ca.gov
In 2004, the California Hydrogen Highway Network (CA H2 Net) plan was introduced to
promote the use of hydrogen to diversifying sources of transportation energy used while
ensuring environmental and economic benefits. The Hydrogen Highway vision sets forth
a blueprint for government and private agencies to work together in planning and
building a hydrogen infrastructure. The Blueprint Plan
(www.hydrogenhighway.ca.gov/plan/reports/bpplan_vol1.pdf) outlines a path to 250
hydrogen fueling stations and 20,000 hydrogen-fueled vehicles, which will help set the
stage for full-scale commercialization of these technologies. CA H2 Net is also
anticipated to generate new jobs and industries in the state and assist in restoring
control over California’s energy supply.
In June 2004, the California state legislature committed the state (Assembly Joint
Resolution 50 - www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/03-04/bill/asm/ab_0001-
0050/ajr_50_bill_20040624_chaptered.html) to furthering hydrogen and fuel cell vehicle
commercialization through the following actions and developments:
• Ensuring that commercially available hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles are
offered on the retail market;
• Providing convenient access to hydrogen fueling stations for at least 60% of
Californians;
• Phasing in the maximum feasible number of hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles
in appropriate application in California's state vehicle fleet; and
• Providing a commitment to the development of renewable sources of energy
for hydrogen production.
