Last week at the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP), in West Sacramento, California, we learned about thetechnology of hydrogen gas conversion to electricity for poweringvehicles. CaFCP is a collaboration of 33 member organizations,including auto manufacturers, energy providers, governmentagencies, and fuel cell technology companies that work together topromote the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

At the facility door, we were greeted by a hydrogen-powered HondaFCX 2-door. Next, we got an official wrist band so we could ride intheir various cars behind the building.

First, Ms. Chris White, Communications Director of CaFCP, told usthe history behind the partnership and the vehicles. Founded in1999, the CaFCP campus is a working environment with the focus onvehicles that are powered by hydrogen. Each vehicle uses their ownstyle of battery to store the hydrogen produced electricity. Since2000, members have tested more than 200 light duty vehicles inCalifornia and traveled more than one million miles onCalifornia
