Why Join?
CHBC advocates for hydrogen and fuel cells in Sacramento
The CHBC provides market-focused policy engagement with the Governor’s Office, State Legislature and Regulatory Agencies (CPUC, CEC, CARB, CalEPA). Through the CHBC Advocacy Committee and Initiatives, CHBC members advance policies that will enable the commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cells across multiple sectors.
CHBC disseminates market intelligence
The CHBC works to educate policymakers, investors, customers, and the public on the facts related to hydrogen energy through information resources that are advancing the level of knowledge and interest in hydrogen and fuel cells. As a member, you can use these educational resources to help build demand for your products.
CHBC connects you to the hydrogen energy and fuel cell community
CHBC membership is the easiest way to get connected to the many different segments of the hydrogen energy industry in California. Through its member directory, interactive website, and conferences and webinars, the CHBC brings industry representatives, decision-makers, and stakeholders together to exchange information, create business connections and work to advance the commercialization of fuel cell and hydrogen energy technology.
Organizational Memberships
Integrate your organization in California’s hydrogen and fuel cell markets by becoming a member of the California Hydrogen Business Council. For less than the cost of one ad, you can join a broad coalition of leaders and drive the commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cells in California. Organizational memberships are classified into several categories: Platinum Plus, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Innovator.
The California Hydrogen Business Council plans to spend 40% of membership dues on lobbying activities. That portion is not tax-exempt. As a 501(c)6 non-profit organization, the remainder of your dues is tax-deductible. Dues from public agencies and non-profits are not used for lobbying and are fully tax-exempt.
