California state agencies “rolling out carpet” for hydrogen electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

“ California is rolling out the carpet for Californians who choose these ultra-clean hydrogen powered electric cars and for the companies that make them ,” said Air Resources Board Chairman Mary D. The transportation sector accounts for about 40 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier post.). —Chairman Nichols.

Umpqua Energy’s EVOPAC system combines an advanced hydrogen-injection system using a plasma reformer with a DeNOx Catalyst. The plasma reformer, installed into the engine compartment, convert fuel into hydrogen. The hydrogen causes the fuel to burn more completely, resulting in greater fuel efficiency, less emissions, and more power.
