Clean Energy to Construct Hydrogen Fueling Station for Riverside Transit Agency in California
Key Ideas
  • Clean Energy awarded contract to design and build a new hydrogen fueling station for Riverside Transit Agency, including hydrogen supply and maintenance services.
  • RTA plans to start with five fuel cell buses and expand to over 100 hydrogen-powered buses in the next decade, supporting a zero-emission vehicle fleet.
  • The project is a significant step for RTA's commitment to cleaner transportation, with the agency also planning to transition its bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles starting in 2026.
  • Clean Energy's expertise in hydrogen fueling solutions and commitment to environmental responsibility highlighted through this project and partnership with RTA.
Clean Energy has secured a contract to develop a new hydrogen fueling station for Riverside Transit Agency in California. The project, awarded through a competitive process, encompasses the design, construction, hydrogen supply, and maintenance services for a dedicated station in Riverside. RTA's initial phase will involve operating five fuel cell buses, with a long-term vision to expand to more than 100 hydrogen-powered buses in the next ten years. This initiative aligns with RTA's strategic shift towards a zero-emission vehicle fleet, playing a crucial role in their sustainability goals. Clean Energy's Senior Vice President emphasized the company's proficiency in hydrogen fueling technologies and the benefits they bring for long-distance routes. The partnership between Clean Energy and RTA signifies a joint commitment to advancing clean, low-emission transportation solutions. RTA's Board Chair highlighted the importance of this project in promoting healthier communities and driving innovation in environmentally responsible practices. The construction of the hydrogen fueling station follows RTA's acquisition plans for five hydrogen fuel cell electric buses, funded by a substantial grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. This procurement marks the beginning of RTA's phased transition to a zero-emission bus fleet, with a targeted completion by 2026. Clean Energy, having recently completed a similar hydrogen station project for Foothill Transit Agency, continues to demonstrate its leadership in sustainable infrastructure development. The project not only signifies a technological advancement in transportation but also serves as a testament to the shared vision of both Clean Energy and RTA towards a greener future.
