California Fuel Cell Partnership
- California Fuel Cell Partnership
The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a public-private partnership to promote hydrogen vehicles (including cars and buses) in California. It is notable as one of the first initiatives for that purpose undertaken in the United States.
It was formed in 1999 under the impetus of the California Air Resources Board, California Energy Commission, and six private companies. In 2000, they opened their headquarters in West Sacramento, California. As of 2005, there were 21 full member organizations and 11 associate members.
Member organizations have been instrumental in the opening of 16 hydrogen fueling stations (with 15 more planned) and putting 95 vehicles on the road in the state [http://www.cafcp.org/fuel-vehl_map.html] .
Membership
The original membership has grown since the foundation of the partnership. ARCO (acquired by BP) and Texaco (merged with Chevron), both original members, are no longer counted as members, as they are not independent companies.
