Apply to Join the ARCHES Ecosystem
ARCHES is very excited to be able to accept new partners into the ARCHES ecosystem. Becoming part of this ecosystem will allow you to join internal conversations and participate from the ground level as California works together to build a hydrogen ecosystem.
ARCHES is working to establish California’s renewable clean hydrogen energy system. To build this Alliance our goal is to bring together an ecosystem of many partners, not limiting ourselves to those included in the DOE H2Hub. Projects in the DOE H2Hub were selected via an open RFP/RFI that was conducted by ARCHES in Q4 2022.
While there is no funding attached to this RFP/RFI process, ARCHES will use this information to help build the California hydrogen ecosystem and marketplace. If additional funding is identified, ARCHES ecosystem members will be notified.
