About

The program covers RHA’s 2027 advocacy priorities, Washington and Oregon legislative priorities, technical committee research, electrolytic hydrogen as long-duration energy storage, waste-to-energy hydrogen pathways, the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub transportation market, Toyota fuel-cell solutions, and member project updates. Conference sessions address policy shaping hydrogen-market momentum; Washington’s hydrogen-market strategy; California best practices for hydrogen infrastructure; customer-centric solutions for a maturing hydrogen transportation market; workforce development; regional West Coast transportation markets; electrolysis and power-price constraints; waste-to-hydrogen technologies using wastewater, forestry biomass, and landfill gas; local hydrogen innovation; alternative fuels amid geopolitical and market changes; public-private partnerships; climate policy and energy affordability; and emerging technologies including hydrogen, geothermal, nuclear, and biomass. The event includes members-only programming, a Douglas County PUD facility tour focused on electrolyzers, hydrogen storage, fueling stations, operational safety, and utility-scale deployment, a vehicle and equipment expo, and a community celebration open to the public.
