The California Fuel Cell Partnership celebrated 1 million miles of emission free driving. They will celebrate reaching this milestone on Earth Day which is also the eight anniversary of its annual earth day open house. Many Californians are being moved every day though busses and cars that are powered with clean hydrogen fuel cell technology. Catherine Dunwoody explained that every mile driven brought the state a little bit closer to its goal of widespread commercial applications for the clean new technology, and shows California’s commitment to a cleaner world through sustainable transportation alternatives.
The organization has put 179 fuel cell vehicles on the rod since its inception in 1999. Today many state organizations make use of the groups fuel cell vehicle developmental programs. Throughout California there are now 24 hydrogen fueling stations with an additional 14 planed.
Drivers working in these new vehicles are raving about how clean and quiet they are to drive. Fuel cell vehicles are very efficient cars powered by electricity generated through a chemical reaction that begins with hydrogen. The only emission produced is a little bit of water vapor. Hydrogen vehicles make use of the abundant hydrogen in our environment and are touted as the coming alternate for more information on both the organization and on clean fuel cell technology to our addiction to oil.
