Working Group

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26 AT 2:00PM PACIFIC. Join us for a review and discussion of the California Air Resources Board’s 2022 Annual Evaluation of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Deployment and Hydrogen Fuel Station Network Development report. The evaluation offers several findings and data that will be presented and discussed during the briefing.

• California is expected to have more than 176 open-retail hydrogen fueling stations by 2026
• California may meet the Assembly Bill 8 (2013) goal of at least 100 stations by the end of 2023
• Planned network development will achieve the goals of AB 8 and narrow the gap in reaching the 200-station target set by Governor Brown in executive order B-48-18
• Analysis recently published by CARB demonstrates the potential for California’s hydrogen fueling network to achieve financial self-sufficiency by 2030.

Panelist: Andrew Martinez, California Air Resources Board

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 AT 10:00AM. SoCalGas® and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) invite you to a webinar to learn about an innovative metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell (MS-SOFC) that can be used for clean power generation and electrolytic hydrogen production. Unique features of the MS-SOFC include low materials cost based on stainless steel, ability to start up very quickly from cold to operating temperature, mechanical strength, tolerance to dynamic and aggressive operation, and tolerance to sulfur.

These features enable MS-SOFCs to be used in fast-start and dynamic applications that are too aggressive for conventional SOFCs, including backup power, vehicle range extenders, and chemical conversions using intermittent renewable power. In this seminar we will introduce LBNL’s MS-SOFC technology and use cases for natural gas consumption and hydrogen production. We will also discuss the recent work that LBNL completed with assistance from SoCalGas RD&D, DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology Office (HFTO), and Advanced Research Project Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) to fabricate and demonstrate MS-SOFCs with catalysts tailored for each of these applications.
