SUMMARY OF AGENDA ITEMS • The Steering Team meeting was chaired by Robert Bienenfeld (Honda) due to the

absence of Dan Sperling (CARB). CaFCP members welcomed Ronald Grasman representing Christian Mohrdieck for Daimler.

• Catherine Dunwoody (CaFCP) thanked automakers for providing six different fuel cell vehicles for ride and drive on Thursday, February 14 for legislative outreach in support of proposed SB 11/AB 8 and encouraged additional members to participate and demonstrate support for hydrogen station funding.

• Sunita Satyapal (DOE) presented an overview of their Hydrogen & Fuel Cells program and considers CaFCP and member activities as critical to DOE discussions. Fuel cells top the list of the Clean Energy Patent Growth Index.

• Wade Crowfoot (California Office of Planning & Research) described the ZEV Action Plan to implement the Governor’s Executive Order, meet long-term goals focused on 80% GHG reduction by 2050, and address the AB 32 goal of 33%

renewable electricity by 2020. The ZEV Action Plan involves working with both the CaFCP and the California PEV Collaborative to combine fuel cell and plug-in vehicle goals, instead of creating separate goals. The ZEV Action Plan addresses infrastructure, outreach, fleets, and jobs. The California Department of General Services started placing ZEVs on state purchasing schedule to help fleets meet the goal of 15% ZEVs in the state fleet by 2015.

• Amy Zimpfer (U.S. EPA Region 9) described the public health priority and need to attain air quality standards. California is the only state that can’t attain PM2.5 requirements by 2020 without additional ZEV measures, especially in San Joaquin. Amy also highlighted the Clean Air Initiative with SCAQMD and CARB to demonstrate advanced technology.

• Analisa Bevan (CARB) said that CARB did not submit the Clean Fuels Outlet (CFO) regulation to the California Office of Administrative Law last year in order to focus on proposed SB 1455 incentive based strategy, reserving the CFO amendment as a backstop if needed. CARB is proposing revised CFO language for June hearing as a backstop measure if proposed legislation (AB 8 & SB 11) is not successful. There is currently a CFO in place with a 20,000 vehicle statewide trigger and different regulated parties. Mike Kashuba (CARB) provided a status update of CARB co-funded hydrogen stations.

• Current CEC funding through AB 118 for California Department of Measurement Standards (DMS) hydrogen activities expires January, 2014 and DMS is actively searching for additional co-funding sources. DMS corrected an equipment issue and will be testing hydrogen stations (non-regulatory) for “type evaluation,” as an initial test in a process that can include a temporary use permit and then retests for reliability.

• Jim McKinney (CEC) encouraged member input to their Investment Plan meeting on February 28. Matt Miyasato (SCAQMD) said that APCI plans to rollout hydrogen stations together with their Wilmington plant upgrade this year.

• During member updates, Matt Miyasato described three priority activities for SCAQMD in 2013: AB 923 reauthorization (included in proposed SB 11/AB 8), support for hydrogen from renewable resources will be discussed at the next SCAQMD Technology committee meeting with contributions by Dr. Joan Ogden (U.C. Davis) and Bill Elrick (CaFCP), and funding for hydrogen infrastructure remains a high priority in the 2013 Clean Fuels funding plan.

• Tyson Eckerle (EIN) provided a status update about efforts to develop the Hydrogen Network Investment Plan (H2NIP). Analysis is intended to address two challenges: to get funding and timing right and improve incentive mechanisms. Conceptual framework for this model builds on UCI, UCD, and NREL models, plus adds incentive package options to get station specific output and network output.

• Eileen Bartley (Clear Edge, formerly UTC) presented the Fuel Cell Electric Bus Roadmap, which was approved by the members with edits including identifying

Page 4: BOARD MEETING DATE: April 5, 2013 AGENDA NO. 29 Steering ... · DMS corrected an equipment issue and will be testing hydrogen stations (non-regulatory) for “type evaluation,”

government funding agencies as the primary audience, and the investment needed to accomplish the Fuel Cell Electric Bus (FCEB) Roadmap leads toward cost reductions to achieve DOT/DOE 2016 targets. The FCEB Roadmap proposes two centers of excellence in California. Each center of excellence would support 40 buses with one hydrogen fueling station. A timeline to identify partners and locations may be added to address a concern raised by Matt Miyasato, since a southern California location has not been identified.

• CaFCP members were provided strategic overviews about natural gas and hydrogen by Amgad Elgowainy (Argonne National Lab) and Marc Melaina (National Renewable Energy Lab), and industry insights from Jeff Reed (SoCalGas), Rick Margolin (BenTek Energy), and Fred Joseck (DOE).

• CaFCP members plan to continue exploring natural gas and hydrogen synergies from the station operator point of view at the next meeting.

• CaFCP members approved the October Decisions & Assignments. The West Sacramento hydrogen station at CaFCP headquarters will close September 1, and a new station is planned to open in November, 2013.

• CaFCP staff provided project updates. Chris White reviewed the new 2013 milestone chart and mentioned that new staff member Elan Shore, based in southern California, will be meeting with local elected officials regarding community hydrogen readiness. Bill Elrick described the work involved to update national ER training and the need for funding for hydrogen station testing. Members were encouraged to express support for continued DOE support for ongoing codes and standards activities at the national labs.

• Chris White presented the 2013 -2016 CaFCP Implementation Plan to guide CaFCP priorities and staff activities, based on member input at several meetings. The Steering Team members approved the implementation plan which will be reviewed and updated regularly to enhance communication, support station deployment, and encourage future hydrogen station funding.

• Catherine Dunwoody reviewed potential new members with the Steering Team and will continue mutually beneficial discussions and collaborations.

• Steering Team members approved the meeting dates proposed for 2014 for three Steering Team meetings, three Executive Committee meetings, and four Working Group meetings.

The next CaFCP Steering Team meeting is scheduled for June 4-5, 2013 in Diamond Bar. Additional information about the California Fuel Cell Partnership can be found at http://www.fuelcellpartnership.org. Attachment CaFCP Quarterly Activity Report: October – December 2012

CaFCP Quarterly Update October-December 2012

Background The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a unique collaborative of auto manufacturers, energy companies, fuel cell technology companies, and government agencies, including SCAQMD. This report summarizes CaFCP activity in or related to Southern California, for October-December 2012. In its fourth phase, 2013-2016, CaFCP members, individually or in groups, will focus on meeting these goals to achieve market launch:

• Prepare for larger-scale manufacturing, which encompasses cost reduction, supply chain and production.

• Work on the customer channel, including identifying and training dealers and service technicians.

• Reduce costs of station equipment, increase supply of renewable hydrogen at lower cost, and develop new retail station approaches.

• Support cost reduction through incentives and targeted RD&D projects • Continue research, development and demonstration of advanced concepts in renewable and

other low-carbon hydrogen. • Provide education and outreach to the public and community stakeholders on the role of FCVs

and hydrogen in the evolution to electric drive.

To successfully implement the vision, CaFCP activities must focus on technical, communications and business operations/strategies that require collaboration and coordination. A detailed CaFCP implementation plan is available as a separate document. The following activities are examples of CaFCP’s work toward achieving these goals. Road Map Project for H2 Fueling Station Network With the publication of “A California Road Map: The Commercialization of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles” CaFCP began outreach and education to variety of stakeholders, including news media, legislators and other policy makers. In Q4, much of this outreach and education activity is reflected in our legislative outreach activities. More information, in addition to copies of the overview and technical report, can be found at http://cafcp.org/carsandbuses/caroadmap.
