OverviewThe California Air Resources BoardAir Quality in California Motivation to Implement Fuel Cells
– Improve the air quality in CA with near-zero and zero emission technologies
– Encourage the fuel flexibility of new, clean technologies
California Air Resources BoardCalifornia Air Resources Board
Part of the California Environmental Protection Agency
Established in 1967 to– Attain and maintain healthy air quality– Conduct research– Control pollution from motor vehicles
2001 Clean Air Plan
Air Resources Board’s GoalAir Resources Board’s Goal
Ensure all individuals in California, especially children and the elderly, can live, work and play in a healthful environment -- free from harmful exposure to air pollution

Environmental and Energy Environmental and Energy Statement of IntentStatement of Intent
Adopted by the CaFCP Steering Team, July 2000
The California Fuel Cell Partnership is committed to promoting fuel cell vehicle commercialization as a means of moving toward a sustainable energy future, increasing energy efficiency and reducing or eliminating air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
Exploring the Path to Commercialization
Roadmap Study
• Cooperative effort among CaFCP members • Examine opportunities and barriers to commercializing FCEVs• Consider several fuel options - will NOT pick winners/losers• Expect draft completed Spring 2001
