GFO-20-604 – Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demonstrations in Rail and Marine Applications at Ports (H2RAM)

Purpose: To fund the design, integration, and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen fueling infrastructure for locomotive and commercial harbor craft applications at California ports to reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. Projects should seek to advance technologies that can enable ports as high throughput clusters for low-cost and low-carbon hydrogen and achieve scaled demand across multiple applications. The purpose of this solicitation is to fund the design, integration, and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen fueling infrastructure for locomotive and commercial harbor craft applications at California ports to reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Natural Gas R&D Program announces the availability of up to $6.6 million in grant funds for the technology integration and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell-powered locomotives and harbor craft. Additionally, the CEC’s Clean Transportation Program (formerly known as the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program) announces the availability of up to $6 million in grant funds for shared hydrogen fueling infrastructure to support hydrogen fuel cell-powered locomotives or harbor craft, as well as on-road vehicles and cargo handling equipment. Eligible Applicants: This solicitation is open to all public and private entities. Demonstration projects under Group 1 in this solicitation must be located in the service territory of a California natural gas Investor Owned Utility (NG IOU), which includes Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Gas Company. Projects under Group 1 and 3 must benefit NG IOU ratepayers. Eligible Geographies: Demonstration projects under Group 1 in this solicitation must be located in the service territory of a California natural gas Investor Owned Utility (NG IOU), which includes Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Gas Company. Projects under Group 1 and 3 must benefit NG IOU ratepayers. Matching Funding: Match funding is required in the amount of at least 20% of the requested CEC funds for Group 1 and Group 2. Match funding is not required for Group 3. $12,600,000 $12,600,000 12
