History
The California Hydrogen Highway Network (CaH2Net) was initiated in April 2004 by Executive Order (EO) S-07-04 under Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger with the purpose of promoting
hydrogen refueling stations in California.
In September 2006, California Senate Bill 1505 required 33% of hydrogen to come from
renewable energy sources, and other initiatives followed. As of 2007, 25 stations were in operation. Some of these hydrogen fueling stations completed the terms of their government-funded research demonstration project and were decommissioned. In 2012, there were 23 hydrogen fueling stations in California, eight of which were publicly accessible.
In 2013 Governor Brown signed AB 8, a bill to fund $20 million a year for up to 100 stations. , there were 53 publicly accessible hydrogen fueling stations in California (one station in Hawaii was the only other publlicly accessible hydrogen station in the US).
