On Wednesday, April 20, California Air Resources Board Chair Mary Nichols led a rally of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles with Energy Commissioner Janea Scott and Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) Deputy Director Tyson Eckerle on a 400-mile journey from Los Angeles to ARB headquarters in Sacramento in celebration of Earth Day. The rally highlights the fact that these ultra-clean vehicles are now available for sale or lease, and there is a rapidly growing statewide network of hydrogen filling stations to support them.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s (CDFA) Division of Measurement Standards plays an important role in the ongoing rollout of hydrogen fueling stations by certifying hydrogen fuel meters and regulates fuel quality, advertising and labeling in the consumer marketplace.
