Hydrogen in California

As California pursues ambitious decarbonization targets, hydrogen has been proposed as a key technology for transforming hard-to-abate sectors. To support informed decision-making, CCST has been amplifying science and technology expertise for California's policymakers on this topic, including convening two expert briefings—one on decarbonizing with hydrogen and another focused on hydrogen’s role in the transportation sector. Building on this work, CCST is hosting a November 2024 workshop, "Aligning California's Hydrogen Research and Innovation Agenda," to explore critical hydrogen research gaps, ensuring that California’s hydrogen strategy is grounded in the latest scientific insights and aligned with its decarbonization goals.
