Hydrogen Readiness in Early Market Communities is intended to address the challenges of building hydrogen stations at a time that the technology is new and to define specific actions that communities and regions can take to introduce fuel cell electric vehicles as a zero-emission transportation choice. Addressing information gaps related to the planning and permitting of hydrogen stations, and in education and knowledge of fuel cell electric vehicles will encourage the purchase and use of these vehicles, resulting in decreased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.
