Welcome to the Ohio Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Coalition

While we have always focused on hydrogen with respect to fuel cells, we recognize the importance of hydrogen, from development and production, to storage, distribution, and utilization. Our name change and new logo serve as a realignment and recommitment. We continue our focus with the same professionalism, credibility, and collaboration efforts to promote, educate, and serve the hydrogen and fuel cell industry.
