The Lancaster-based public authority, established to coordinate California’s hydrogen industry, has flagged logistics as a key barrier to adoption.
With the RFP, FPH2 aims to standardise and scale hydrogen delivery through a public-led procurement model, rather than leaving logistics solely to private companies.
It calls for transport solutions such as liquid tankers and tube trailers, with successful bidders potentially able to secure contracts, revenue streams, and preferred partner status.
Vendors can submit proposals via PlanetBids by September 12, 2025, with bids evaluated on technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term value, covering both liquid and gaseous transport services.
The move from the FPH2 comes against the backdrop of the recent California Air Resources Board (CARB) report on hydrogen mobility, released earlier this year.
The regulator found that California will miss its 200 hydrogen refuelling station target by nearly 60%, in part due to supply and delivery bottlenecks – an issue FPH2 is attempting to address through its transportation RFP.
