Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Cell Collaborative

The Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Cell Collaborative (RHFCC) was established in 2016 through a collaboration with the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) and The Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research. The RHFCC operates out of the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority. The Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Cell Collaborative is a regional ambassador for the advancement and adoption of hydrogen-powered, zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure in the Midwest. Our goal is to establish the Midwest as a national leader in the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles through education, advocacy and research to take our region and world closer to a sustainable, zero-emission future. What we do: -Educate and inform about hydrogen fuel cell technology and its benefits. -Support and encourage the deployment of vehicles and refueling stations throughout the Midwest. A new roadmap released in conjunction with the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority lays out a plan of action to deploy 135,000 fuel cell electric vehicles, build 250 hydrogen stations and create 65,000 new jobs over next 15 years. -Educate legislators about the significant advantages in economic development and job creation by encouraging the growth of the hydrogen fuel cell supply chain in the region. -Aid in R&D to remove barriers to adoption and make hydrogen-powered vehicles a viable option in the Midwest region.
