Port of Long Beach joins hydrogen fuelling alliance

To advance its zero-emissions goals, the Port of Long Beach (POLB) has joined the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), a public-private partnership formed to help capture newly available federal funding to assist in developing a robust renewable hydrogen market in California, United States.

ARCHES will serve as an applicant for California’s bid to win funding for a hydrogen hub under the US Department of Energy’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) program, according to a statement.

Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the H2Hubs program will be one of the largest investments in the history of the Department of Energy.

“Hydrogen power represents a tremendous opportunity — both for our state and for cities like Long Beach. We’re looking forward to California leading the way through investment in sustainable technology,” said Long Beach Mayor, Robert Garcia.

“Establishment of a hydrogen hub in California would support achieving our zero emission goals,” said Port of Long Beach executive director Mario Cordero, who pointed out that “with US$8 billion in federal funding available, we want to ensure we have as much leverage as possible to see that our fair share comes to California, and specifically to the ports.”
