Mass Transit - ARCHES, U.S. DOE ink $12.6 billion agreement to build the California Hydrogen Hub
As a key partner of the ARCHES team, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) will spearhead ARCHES’ 1,000-Bus Initiative, which involves deploying more than 1,000 fuel cell electric buses across 13 California transit agencies during the next five to eight years. It also includes the construction or upgrade of 19 refueling and maintenance facilities essential for supporting the buses.
"We are honored to be a part of the ARCHES team and contribute to the country’s growing hydrogen economy," said Dan Raudebaugh, executive director, CTE. "The DOE's substantial investment underscores the importance of hydrogen as a key component of our clean energy future. CTE is dedicated to driving innovation and collaboration to support our shared vision of a sustainable, zero-emission U.S. transportation system."
ARCHES' Hydrogen Hub will serve as a model for future clean energy projects, showcasing the potential of hydrogen to revolutionize the transportation sector.
