The California Fuel Cell Partnership announced that Linde North America has joined CaFCP as an associate member.
Linde North America is a member of The Linde Group, one of the world's largest hydrogen producers and suppliers. As a member of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, Linde brings years of experience designing hydrogen delivery systems, including developing ground-breaking technology that provides safe, fast and efficient ways to fuel hydrogen vehicles.
Mike McGowan, head of hydrogen solutions for Linde North America, says the CaFCP's efforts are contributing to a greener world and cleaner environment. "Linde has long admired the California Fuel Cell Partnership's tremendous work and is pleased to become a member. California's leadership in deploying hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is due largely to the CaFCP's efforts. As the CaFCP continues its mission to go beyond demonstrations to achieve commercial deployments, Linde is excited to help make driving and refueling hydrogen cars practical for California residents."
"As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are nearing commercial market entry, it's crucial that the first customers find fueling to be convenient, fast and easy," said Catherine Dunwoody, Executive Director of CaFCP. "Linde's expertise building refueling stations around the world will translate nicely into building customer-friendly stations in California."
Mike Beckman, head of Linde's Western region, said he's excited about supporting the CaFCP's efforts to make a difference in the state. "Linde's strong local presence, combined with our global expertise in hydrogen, will complement the fantastic work the partnership has been doing in California."
