How much will the California Hydrogen Highway Network cost?
Estimates indicate average fueling station capital costs to be $450,000 per station for low volume, dedicated single-dispenser vehicle facilities. Converting one quarter, or 2,500 of California’s gas stations to carry hydrogen would require capital expenditure of an estimated $1.125 billion. Capital costs for converting 500 stations would be $225 million. The California Hydrogen Highway Network as currently envisioned, calls for roughly 200 stations, or somewhere between $100 and $200 million, depending on the size of the stations.
