MONDAY, OCTOBER 30- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2023. Join H2FCP's member Dr. David Blekhman at this year's Mobilize Summit in Long Beach, CA. During the "Train the Trainer H2" session, community college instructors, educators, and technology experts will discuss how to prepare the next generation of hydrogen professionals. Cal State LA has been offering courses covering fuel cells, solar technologies, and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Moreover, the university has initiated an internship program at its Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility. Drawing from these experiences, the session will delve into fuel cell technologies and introduce the newly developed hydrogen infrastructure curriculum. This curriculum includes topics such as an overview of the Cal State LA hydrogen station (major equipment), operational safety, fueling procedures, and control room environment and monitoring. Future partnerships and adoptions are encouraged.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 FROM 10:00AM- 5:00PM. The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a workshop to discuss the potential adoption of hydrogen to help decarbonize the electric generation and transportation sectors, as required by Senate Bill (SB) 1075 (Skinner, Chapter 363, Statutes of 2022). This workshop is part of the 2023 IEPR proceeding. Commissioner Patty Monahan is the CEC’s Lead Commissioner for the 2023 IEPR. A quorum of commissioners may participate, but no votes will be taken. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time. The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the attendance instructions below.

Attendance Instructions

In-person participants may join at the Warren-Alquist State Energy Building located at 1516 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, in the Rosenfeld Hearing Room. This will be a one-day workshop split into morning and afternoon sessions.

Agenda

CEC staff will present initial findings and perspectives on preliminary analysis of the potential adoption of hydrogen to help decarbonize the electric generation and transportation sectors. Staff
will solicit feedback and identify priority areas of future analyses including in the 2025 IEPR (as required by SB 1075). The morning session will feature a panel of utility, developer, and
environmental representatives who will provide perspectives on hydrogen’s potential in California. The afternoon session will have two panels: one focused on the potential for hydrogen to help
decarbonize California’s power sector and a second on the transportation sector, which will also be followed by a roundtable discussion. Finally, the CEC’s Energy Research and Development Division
will give a presentation on hydrogen-focused research and development (R&D) projects being funded through the Gas R&D, Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC), and Clean Hydrogen programs.

There will be an opportunity for public comment.
