Submitted Comment Name Chad Mayer Affiliation Sharefest Subject Public Comment- Hydrogen Community Meeting Message My name is Chad Mayer, and I serve as Executive Director at Sharefest. We’re pleased to support the use of hydrogen to decarbonize both our energy and transportation sectors. When hydrogen is used as a fuel for zero-emission vehicles, it serves as a one-to-one replacement for gasoline and diesel. Fuel cell vehicles refuel at existing gas stations, which is a game-changer for people living in multi-family housing, those who park on the street, or for super commuters heading to work or soccer games—folks who aren’t served well by charging infrastructure. Hydrogen also enables larger vehicles to maintain the range, capacity, and performance we’re all used to, without compromise. Beyond transportation, hydrogen is critical to decarbonizing the energy sector—whether it’s using stationary fuel cells for backup power instead of diesel generators, or converting gas plants to run on renewable hydrogen, which can cut emissions significantly. This is a way to help us reach climate goals without making energy and transportation unaffordable for working families. For all these reasons, we’re proud to support the Air Resources Board’s work on this critical technology. Thank you for the opportunity to provide input. File Upload (i.e., Attachments): N/A N/A
