Community Environmental Council and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District invite you to a special forum on fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and their fuel, hydrogen. These vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions and are a pillar of the state's strategy to improve air quality and reduce climate pollution. 

As an important member of the press, we'd love to have you at this community event.

The forum will include a panel of experts from the California Fuel Cell Partnership and local government who will discuss the benefits, challenges, and opportunities for hydrogen-fueled transportation in the Central Coast region and greater California.
