Why Fuel Cells Help Meet State
Policy Goals
Fuel Cells 101
Fuel cells generate
electricity and heat using
hydrogen and oxygen to
drive an electro-chemical
reaction, not combustion
– the only byproduct
is water.
2 Fuel Cell Vehicles. Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Advantages of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
Technologies
Low or Zero emissions
Resilient, reliable, and scalable
Uses domestic fuels – both conventional or renewable
Can partner with batteries, solar, wind, and other renewable technologies
American innovative technology
3 Fuel Cell Vehicles. Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Fuel Cell Vehicles –
A Product Consumers
Will Want to Buy
Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
FCVs are the only electric vehicle that
replicates today’s drivers experience of
traveling 300-400 miles on a single tank
and refueling in just three to five
minutes, while having zero tailpipe
emissions

support development of at least
100 stations
• 27 open retail stations for
customers today
• 65 retail stations currently
awarded funding
8 Fuel Cell Vehicles. Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Northeast Progress
H2 Station Rollout
• 12 stations in
development in the
northeast supported by
Air Liquide and Toyota
• Initial launch will be in
Boston and New York
City metropolitan areas

10 Fuel Cell Vehicles. Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Fuel Cell Trucks
Zero Emission medium- and heavy-duty fuel cell
trucks are an integral solution for areas looking
to reduce emissions, while maintaining efficiency
• Toyota, Kenworth, and US Hybrid demonstrating
technology in Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles
11 Fuel Cell Vehicles. Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Fuel Cell Electric Buses
In revenue service serving customers today
• AC Transit - operates 13 FCEBs on the road, two
hydrogen stations, and adding ten more FCEBs in by 2018
• SunLine Transit - Now operating five FCEBs in regular
service and adding 12 fuel cell transit buses and two
shuttle buses by the end of 2018
• Orange Country Transit - Plans to deploy 11 buses in the
near future – one in operation

INTEGRATED FUEL CELL ENGINES
Eliminate burning of fossil fuel by port equipment
Eliminate diesel fuel handling and support operator health and safety
Lower noise in population centers
Reduce equipment maintenance costs
Lower the cost of regulatory compliance
The Electrification of Port Equipment
22 pounds of CO2 are produced for every gallon of diesel burned
Average fuel consumption of a top loader:≈ 4.2 gallons/hour → 94 lb CO2/hour
At 3000 hours per year, each top loader produces:
≈ 282,000 lbs CO2/yr
CARBON REDUCTION
Additional Value Drivers for Fuel Cells in Ports
Fuel cells offer means to operate an 8+ hour shift without repowering.
Avoid labor disputes – fuel cells offer same refueling characteristics as diesel
PRODUCTIVITY LABOR
What can you do to help?
Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies should and must be
part of your state’s energy and environmental policies
Provide financial and non-financial incentives
Incentives for infrastructure
Consumer incentives
Bridge and tunnel access
Station siting & permitting
Harmonization of codes, standards, and safety regulations
Development of FCV fleets
