  2. Motivation

  3. Southern California Air Quality

  4. Southern California Air Quality Trends Source: Southern California Air Quality Management District (AQMD)

  5. California Energy Resources • Most oil resources used for transportation • Natural gas used for electricity and heating • In-state electricity production: • Natural Gas 41.5%    • Nuclear 12.9%    • Large Hydro 19.0%    • Coal 15.7%    • Renewable 10.9%

  7. Problem Statement To what extent will air quality in an urban airshed be affected by these reductions? Studies widely agree that widespread deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the associated infrastructure would reduce air pollutant emissions from the transportation sector.

  35. Conclusions • A new modeling framework STREET has been developed. It provides an understanding of how fuel cell vehicles can affect localized pollution within an urban air basin as well as how these effects can change depending upon spatial allocation of hydrogen infrastructure and temporal distribution of emissions from the infrastructure. • Compared to projections of remarkably improved gasoline vehicles, hydrogen infrastructure deployment will substantially improve air quality in an urban airshed, even when fossil fuels are a significant source of hydrogen.But the location of petroleum coke hydrogen production facilities in the basin can lead to local increases in pollution formation compared to gasoline vehicles.
