Over time, the hydrogen refueller project could be expanded to target more than 1,000 fuel cell electric vehicles in metropolitan Perth.
Funding is granted once hydrogen production starts. Successful bidders will then be granted a fixed sum according to the volume bid, over the course of ten years. By awarding hydrogen to the lowest bidder, and by maintaining an auction limit of €800 million, participants are encouraged to reduce costs of production where possible.
The charge stations and installations were paid for with federal stimulus and California Energy Commission grants won by Coulomb. And if you're located in California, the California Energy Commission portion of the grant to Coulomb will pay for installation. As Richard Lowenthal said to me at the event: "Great deal!" But for whom?

To ensure and accelerate the transition, we must move beyond the set of traditional mechanisms that have been used to assist one-to-one replacements of trucks and buses, such as grant programs providing basic buy-down payments. To date, traditional government grant programs have helped fleet owners replace diesel trucks with cleaner ones.
Financing is planned through debt and grants. Conventional lithium ion manufacturing plants use large quantities of toxic NMP (n-methyl-pyrrolidone), now suspected of causing birth defects and increasing operating costs, capital costs and future liabilities.

After taking into consideration a number of key factors such as the costs of vehicles and the development of the early market, the level will then be set for subsequent years. £43 The level will be reviewed in January 2012.
A key barrier to achieving RFS2 is the high cost of producing biofuels compared to petroleum-based fuels and the large capital investments required to put billions of gallons of production capacity in place. Such land conversion may disrupt any future potential for storing carbon in biomass and soil.
The report concludes, and Commissioner Wright emphasizes in an overview of the report, that if biofuels are to play a significant role in New Zealand’s energy future, then drop-in synthetic diesel made from wood is the pathway on which the country should concentrate. The NZ Biodiesel Grants Scheme applies only to FME biodiesel.
