CORONA (CNS) - State regulators have approved $39.1 million in funding for a slew of hydrogen refueling stations, including one in Corona, officials said today.
The funding, for a total of 123 stations statewide, will ``expand California's early commercial light duty hydrogen refueling and fuel cell electric vehicle markets and (will) accommodate the projected FCEV roll-out in 2021-2024,'' according to the California Energy Commission.
Funds were awarded to three companies -- FirstElement, Iwatani and Shell -- for 36 hydrogen stations to service passenger vehicles. Another 87 stations were also recommended for funding to these same awardees in subsequent funding batches, including at least one in Riverside.
The funding awarded Friday includes a station at 616 Paseo Grande in Corona.
