The first hydrogen station in California
A look back at the visit of Katia Nicolet, our onboard scientist, to the National Fuel Cell Research Center in Irvine IC which studies innovative hydrogen technologies and their deployment for a zero-emission future.
On campus close to Long Beach, you can see many examples such as the first hydrogen station built in 2002, their first hydrogen bus or an early hydrogen fuel cell.
