The Hydrogen Infrastructure Trust Advocacy Group is a coalition of
automakers, NGOs, fuel providers, air districts and hydrogen
businesses. 
Our group came together to continue support and expansion of a
network of hydrogen fuel stations needed for successful launch of
the fuel cell electric vehicle market in California. To accomplish
this the creation of the Hydrogen Infrastructure Trust was
proposed.

1. Many of our groups signatories believe that Funding hydrogen
stations with cap & trade funds meets the requirement for a nexus
with GHG emission reductions. 

2. Hydrogen station build out, supported by the state is in line
with the Governor's EO on ZEVs

3.  We're asking for $25M over a period of years to support
establishment and operation of 68 stations statewide

4.  This support will give OEMs the confidence in infrastructure
needed to begin market launch of fuel cell vehicles

5.  This initial network of stations coupled with commercial launch
of fuel cell vehicles will be the bridge to commercial
infrastructure investment or the Clean Fuels Outlet requirements
that will ensure infrastructure for a growing FCV market.
