Port of Long Beach Joins Hydrogen Fueling Partnership

LONG BEACH — To advance its zero-emissions goals, the Port of Long Beach has joined the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems or ARCHES, a public-private partnership formed to help capture newly available federal funding to assist in developing a robust renewable hydrogen market in California.

The partnership was celebrated Oct. 6 during a launch event at the port administration building attended by officials from the port, City of Long Beach, the governor’s office of business and economic development, the University of California office of the president, labor organizations, Renewables 100, and state and local officials.

ARCHES will serve as the lead applicant for California’s bid to win funding for a hydrogen hub under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs or H2Hubs program. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the H2Hubs program will be one of the largest investments in the history of the Department of Energy.
