Automotive Industries, May, 2004

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a grant to a partnership, which includes BMW and is led by Air Products and Chemicals Inc., for a combined research project titled, "Controlled Hydrogen Fleet and Infrastructure Demonstration Project." This five-year program will use Federal funds, as well as donations from partnership members, to finance construction and testing of 24 hydrogen filling stations in California.

Due to the nature of the project, the stations will vary from using renewable resources such as wind power to using a hydrogen pipeline. Some stations will be fixed; others will be relocatable.
