In the coming years, Californians will begin to see a massive switch away from highly polluting fossil-fueled trucks to zero-emission electric trucks. Why? Because last week, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) made history by unanimously adopting what is perhaps the most transformative clean trucks regulation ever considered—the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule.

[ This is the second post in our Hydrogen Blog Series. Read the first post here. ] In the first post, I alluded to the technical issues hydrogen developers are considering. Here we’ll look at how hydrogen is produced and what it will be used for. How is hydrogen produced today? We make hydrogen mainly using steam methane reforming (“SMR”). SMR requires steam, heat, and pressure to convert methane (in natural gas) to hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
