AC Transit Operations Center – Oakland, California
Chevron and AC Transit, one of the largest public transit agencies in California, collaborated to design and build a demonstration hydrogen energy station to supply high-quality fuel for three hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid-electric buses and up to nine Hyundai fuel cell SUVs. This public/private collaboration between an end user and energy company addresses the community’s need for cleaner, more fuel-efficient transportation while also acknowledging the business realities involved for both participants.

Hyundai-Kia America Tech Center – Chino, California
This small-scale demonstration station uses proprietary autothermal reforming technologies to convert natural gas into hydrogen, which is then compressed, purified, stored and dispensed into fuel cell vehicles (FCV). The station, which began operating in February 2005, is part of a five-year U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) cost-sharing program designed to demonstrate and validate practical applications of hydrogen energy. The Hyundai-Kia America Tech Center is one of five Chevron Hydrogen Stations built and operated under the DOE contract.

Progress Energy Operations Center – Orlando, Florida
In a public-private effort to demonstrate the practical use of hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) engaged Chevron Technology Ventures to work with Progress Energy Florida, a utility company and Ford Motor Company to provide fuel for a fleet of Ford hydrogen (ICE) shuttle buses at the Progress Energy Operations Center. These hydrogen powered shuttle buses will be used by multiple vehicle operators in the Orlando Area.

Selfridge Air National Guard Base – Selfridge, Michigan
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will play a key role in the transition to a hydrogen fuel economy. The Chevron Hydrogen fueling station in Selfridge, Michigan, uses Chevron’s advanced steam methane reforming and pressure swing adsorption technologies to convert natural gas into purified hydrogen where it is then compressed, stored and dispensed into vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. This station is a collaborative project between Chevron Hydrogen, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, Hyundai Kia Motor Company and UTC Power.

Southern California Edison Headquarters – Rosemead, California
The Southern California Edison station is designed to produce hydrogen on site using water electrolysis to convert city water into purified hydrogen to fuel a small fleet of demonstration Hyundai and Kia fuel cell vehicles. This Chevron Hydrogen station is one of five projects under a DOE cost-sharing program to demonstrate a variety of integrated "well-to-wheels" systems under real world conditions.
