Transportation accounts for about two-fifths of California’s carbon emissions, and vehicles are harder to decarbonize than electricity generation or using fossil fuels for heating buildings. Hydrogen fueling has received about $156 million in CEC funding but has seen only 44 fueling stations deployed to date.
