Four Hydrogen Technology Learning Centers (H2USA Centers) will be created in three
states to educate students, government officials, industry members, the general public
and others on the hydrogen economy, technology, and applications.
Project partners include the California Energy Commission, New York State Energy
Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) and University of Central Florida. The
strategic location of the proposers covers the northeast, southeast, and western United
States with a coordinated and integrated program to educate a wide variety of audiences
on hydrogen and its applications. Each participating state will be part of the
development of a variety of educational media to include interactive, hands-on exhibits,
demonstrations, and general and technical information.
