Abstract: Astounding technical progress has been made in fuel cell electric transit buses in a few short years driven by a well-funded national program with aggressive goals. The very prominent position that these transit buses play in the community attracts headlines but less media attention is focused on a vital element-the hydrogen fueling infrastructure. This paper presents information on CALSTART projects that have developed, delivered, or are operating various configurations of fuel cell electric transit buses as a backdrop to describe the requirements and implementation of the hydrogen refuel infrastructure provided by two leading hydrogen suppliers, Air Products and Linde. Innovative approaches are described such as general-public/private-fleet installations, high-rate fueling, and dual-fuel solutions as driven by the needs of the deployed fleets.
