Rolling Hydrogen Projects RFP/RFI
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. Now, we are happy to re-open a rolling RFP/RFI process for projects to become part of the larger hydrogen ecosystem and this exciting journey for hydrogen market liftoff in California.
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.
3 ways to participate:
