The agreement carries significance under California’s Innovative Clean Transit regulation. The regulation requires public transit agencies to transition bus fleets to zero-emission technologies. The regulation also mandates renewable fuels for agencies operating fuel cell electric buses. K2’s low-carbon hydrogen will be produced through a pathway targeted to meet the renewable fuel standards of the ICT framework.
The companies said the supply addresses a persistent barrier to fuel cell bus adoption at scale across California.
ZeroUp Supports Hydrogen Fueling Programs
ZeroUp brings more than a decade of hydrogen fueling, fuel cell vehicle support and station operations experience to California transit programs. The company currently supplies hydrogen to Omnitrans in San Bernardino under a multiyear contract. ZeroUp also works with agencies such as the Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority…
