Sometimes I like to tool around the Internet looking for hydrogen resources that may have flown under the radar of the mainstream media. In the U. S. there are many programs that are being developed simultaneously, especially different kinds of hydrogen roadmaps and state\u2019s initiatives.<\/p>\n
So, I thought I would outline a few of the most important and interesting of both of these areas.<\/p>\n
Roadmaps<\/strong><\/p>\n The National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap<\/a> developed in 2002 outlines a vision for transitioning the U. S. to a hydrogen economy and H2-based transportation system.<\/p>\n The California Hydrogen Highway Blueprint<\/a> is part of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger\u2019s directive in 2004 to the Golden State\u2019s EPA to fast track the development of hydrogen fueling stations.<\/p>\n The Florida Accelerated Commercialization Strategy<\/a> for Hydrogen Energy Technologies focused in particular the commercialization of H2 business in that state.<\/p>\n State\u2019s Intiatives<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve talked in this blog at length about the hydrogen development going on in states like California, New York and Florida. But, there are smaller states that have their own hydrogen programs that need to be recognized as well.<\/p>\n The Connecticut Hydrogen Fuel Cell Coalition<\/a> \u201cis made up of companies and organizations that do business with each other and \/ or have common needs for talent, technology, and infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n The Mountain States Hydrogen Business Council<\/a> is a non-profit organization made up of government, business and academia leaders all interested in advancing the use of hydrogen energy in the mountain states region.<\/p>\n
