Bill > AB1550

This bill requires that, starting January 1, 2045, all hydrogen produced or used in California for electricity generation or vehicle fueling must be "renewable hydrogen of nonbiological origin" or "renewable hydrogen of biological origin," as defined in the bill. The bill directs the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with the Public Utilities Commission and the Energy Commission, to develop interim targets to ensure the state achieves this requirement. The bill also prohibits green hydrogen or renewable hydrogen used by a generating facility from qualifying as an eligible renewable energy resource for the state's Renewables Portfolio Standard unless it meets certain requirements. The bill imposes a state-mandated local program because a violation of these provisions would be a crime.
