Clean Energy Fuels Corp has been contracted to design, build, and maintain a second hydrogen refuelling station for Foothill Transit in California.
The station will be located at Foothill Transit’s Arcadia bus yard, which also functions as a refuelling depot for its renewable natural gas (RNG) buses.
An initial delivery of 19 new hydrogen fuel cell buses is expected to operate from this site.
The project, valued at 11.3 million USD, will receive partial funding from federal and state grant programmes.
Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy said:We’ve had a longstanding relationship as trusted partners of Foothill Transit for over two decades. We’re proud to support their transition to clean fuels - whether it’s RNG or hydrogen. Foothill continues to set the standard for sustainability in transit, and we’re excited to help expand their hydrogen infrastructure as they move proactively toward a zero-emissions future.
Foothill Transit serves over 11 million passengers annually across the San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Valley, and downtown Los Angeles. Its first hydrogen refuelling station, built by Clean Energy in Pomona in 2021, currently supports 33 hydrogen fuel cell buses and has been operational since June 2023. Clean Energy continues to manage the station’s operations and maintenance.
The new Arcadia facility will store liquid hydrogen and dispense it in gaseous form. The project is in the design phase, with construction expected to start in mid-2026.
