Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

Clean Energy hydrogen station construction site in Pomona, California.
The new station will support the agency’s growing fleet of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses. Under the contract, Clean Energy will provide design-build services for the hydrogen station and facility upgrades, as well as operations and maintenance services and liquid hydrogen fuel supply. The project is expected to be completed in 2028.
OCTA currently operates a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell, battery-electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses with plans to transition to a 100 percent zero-emission bus fleet by 2040, aligning with California’s Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulations. OCTA currently has 10 hydrogen fuel cell buses in service and expects to add 40 more by the time this fuel station is built.
“OCTA has built a reputation as a forward-thinking transit agency that continues to invest in clean transportation technology,” said Alphonse Anderson, Senior Account Manager at Clean Energy. “As they expand their hydrogen fleet, we’re honored to help deliver the infrastructure that will support those operations for years to come. Clean Energy is headquartered in Orange County and has built hydrogen stations for other Southern Californian transit agencies, so being selected to build OCTA’s station locally makes this project especially meaningful for our team.”
OCTA is one of the largest transportation agencies in Southern California, overseeing bus services across the county of over 3.1 million residents, as well as regional transportation planning, road improvements, and rail programs. The agency operates, maintains and fuels buses from four locations, one being the Garden Grove bus base, where the new hydrogen station will be built.
