Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Project

Project Directors

Dan Dutcher

State-level activity on fuel cells and hydrogen infrastructure is the driving force behind much of the market movement in these areas. Policies, legislation and initiatives are flowering across the US, however, there is no systematic way that advances in the field at the state level can be shared, studied and followed. In order to fill that information gap, CESA’s hydrogen and fuel cell project coordinates among its members and other stakeholders to work through the technology and policy implementation issues in these areas.
