Summary
Would have required CARB, on or before December 31, 2025, in consultation with the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), upon appropriation by the Legislature, to complete an assessment of the use of hydrogen in certain applications, as specified. The bill would have required CARB to evaluate a number of things, including the potential for reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases using hydrogen for the application and the energy efficiency of using hydrogen for the application. The bill also would have required CARB, CEC, and CPUC to consider the findings in the assessment in their plans, rulemakings, reports, or other processes related to the planning, implementation, or regulation of hydrogen production, distribution, storage, or usage in the State. Held on suspense in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
