Fleet operators and businesses throughout California face a similar roadblock in their transition toward meeting the goal of net-zero emissions: fueling infrastructure. It takes years of permitting, funding, and construction to construct a permanent hydrogen fueling station—bottlenecks that slow the adoption of clean energy at a time of urgency.
That’s why Pacific Clean Fuels is leading the way with an innovative solution that effectively eliminates these barriers: Pop-Up Hydrogen Fueling Centers.
These highly mobile, scalable, and fast-deploying fueling stations deliver hydrogen fuel where it’s needed most, all without the delays, costs, and complexities of building permanent fueling infrastructure
What Are Pop-Up Hydrogen Fueling Centers?
The cutting-edge Pop-Up Fueling Centers from Pacific Clean Fuels serve as temporary mobile fueling stations designed to deliver hydrogen fuel directly to high-demand locations. These stations offer a flexible means of accessing clean energy for hydrogen-powered fleets, whether a remote agricultural operation or an urban logistics hub.
Collaborating with OneH2, a leader in hydrogen delivery and on-site generation technologies, Pacific Clean Fuels ensures a hydrogen supply tailored to your specific operational needs, always with a focus on reliability, safety, and efficiency. These mobile stations are designed for quick deployment and can operate without a permit in California for up to 30 days*.
Advantages of Pop-Up Fueling Centers
- Fast Deployment: Perfect for scaling hydrogen access in trial areas and emerging markets.
- Test Before Committing: Evaluate the efficacy of hydrogen fueling for your fleet before making commitments or permanent investments.
- Low-Risk Investment: Eliminate the high costs and regulatory roadblocks of deploying permanent infrastructure.
- Fleet-Friendly: An ideal solution to support early-stage fleet transition to hydrogen vehicles and equipment.
- Support for Remote Sites: An efficient and convenient solution for fueling in remote areas.
How It Works
Every Pop-Up Fueling Center integrates seamlessly with OneH2’s hydrogen distribution model. Hydrogen can be delivered in bulk or generated on-site, depending on location-specific logistics and requirements. Fleet operators have access to a tiered pricing structure based on usage volume, along with network card discounts and a significant reduction in the cost of hydrogen.
As the demand for zero-emission transport grows in California’s heavy-duty vehicle sectors, Pacific Clean Fuels’ temporary hydrogen stations offer a bridge to more permanent future infrastructure investments. Businesses can deploy these stations strategically in regions with emerging demand, which, in turn, accelerates clean fuel adoption.
Strategic Deployment for Optimal Impact
Pacific Clean Fuels has mapped out a practical strategy for deployment linked to the Bakersfield production facility, with terminals arranged to maximize coverage for key industries.
Near-Term Terminal Locations
- Stockton: Supports municipal fleets and public transit in Sacramento, Modesto, and the East Bay.
- Fresno: Serves agricultural operations across California’s Central Valley.
- Fontana: Fuels warehouse logistics and industrial sites in the Inland Empire and greater Los Angeles.
- Bakersfield: Offers local delivery with minimal transport from the production hub.
Planned Expansion
As we continue to support long-haul transport and broader clean fuel adoption, future terminals could include:
- San Diego
- Sacramento
- Las Vegas
- Redding
- Portland
- Seattle
This expanded network is reflective of our long-term strategy at Pacific Clean Fuels to create a truly national hydrogen network.
What Does This Mean for Fleet Operators?
If your organization is considering making the transition to hydrogen, infrastructure readiness is no longer a concern. Pop-Up Hydrogen Fueling Centers remove the barriers to entry for organizations that want to start using hydrogen-powered vehicles and equipment immediately. Since there is no permanent site or upfront infrastructure buildout required, Pop-Up Fueling Centers are a flexible and cost-effective solution. This is especially valuable if you are:
- Piloting hydrogen vehicle programs.
- Responding to emissions mandates.
- Agricultural operators who require reliable, clean fuel in remote rural areas.
- Logistics and transport firms are seeking compliance with zero-emission regulations in California.
