NorCal ZERO Advances Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology in Northern California

NorCal ZERO Advances Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology in Northern California

The Port of Oakland recently marked a significant milestone with the official dedication of the NorCal ZERO project, aimed at deploying 30 Hyundai XCIENT Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks (FCETs) in Northern California.

The NorCal ZERO project, with a total investment of US$53 million, represents a concerted effort to introduce hydrogen fuel cell technology into the US market. These Class 8 FCETs, designed and manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company, are operated by G.E.T. Freight, hauling freight and cars between the Bay Area and the Central Valley.

Funding for the project comes from various sources, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the California Energy Commission (CEC), the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). This multi-faceted funding approach underscores the collaborative nature of the initiative.

Key to the success of the NorCal ZERO project is the high-capacity liquid hydrogen fueling station operated by FirstElement Fuel. With a storage capacity of 18,000 kilograms, this station can support over 200 trucks a day, facilitating seamless refueling operations for the fleet of FCETs.

Papé Trucks, based in San Leandro, plays a crucial role in maintaining the FCETs. Technicians receive specialized training from Hyundai to ensure optimal servicing of the vehicles. Moreover, Papé Trucks has upgraded its maintenance facility with hydrogen detection and ventilation equipment, prioritizing safety standards.

The involvement of academic and community partners, including the University of California, Berkeley, and the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, highlights the project’s commitment to data collection, community outreach, and communication. This holistic approach ensures transparency and fosters stakeholder engagement.
