While ARCHES projects are located statewide, ARCHES is proud to be headquartered in Irvine, California.

Innovation ecosystem: Irvine is home to the University of California, Irvine (UCI), which has strong research programs in fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. This creates synergies between academic research and commercial development as many local spin-offs have resulted directly from alumni and faculty.

• Strategic location: Southern California has a significant concentration of existing hydrogen infrastructure, including production facilities, pipelines, fueling stations, and transportation networks. 

• Industry access: Irvine is located in Orange County, part of the greater Los Angeles region, providing proximity to major industrial partners, potential hydrogen users, and technology companies. 

• Talent pool: The region offers access to a skilled workforce in engineering, tech, and energy sectors.
