Скачать или смотреть California’s Hydrogen Stations Survived the Grid — but Lost on Utilization and $kg

California has the largest and longest-running hydrogen refueling station network in the United States. On paper, it looks like proof that hydrogen infrastructure can scale. But under real grid stress, a different reality emerges.

This video examines what California’s hydrogen station network reveals when power constraints, pricing volatility, and reliability pressures shape daily operations. The stations largely survived—but utilization, predictability, and cost per kilogram suffered. What looks like persistence from the outside often masks structural limits that quietly undermine economics.

This is not a story about failed electrolyzers or broken fuel cells. It is a systems story about grid access, operating windows, utilization ceilings, and why survival under constraint does not equal economic success.

If you are involved in hydrogen development, infrastructure finance, or energy transition strategy, this case study shows why grid conditions must be treated as first-order variables—and why utilization under stress determines whether hydrogen scales or stalls.
