About Us

The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) is the leading industry association in the United States representing more than one hundred leading organizations advancing production, distribution, and use of innovative, clean, safe, and reliable hydrogen energy. For over 30 years FCHEA has provided a consistent industry voice to policymakers and regulators, driving support at the federal and state level. Our educational efforts promote the environmental and economic benefits of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies.

The mission of FCHEA is to advance the commercialization of and promote the markets for fuel cells and hydrogen energy.

FCHEA is focused on achieving our mission through three primary activities:

• Leading national advocacy to encourage all levels of government to support fuel cell and hydrogen technology research, development, and deployment;

• Providing the industry a voice in shaping regulations, codes, and standards to enable commercial growth, while ensuring the highest levels of consumer safety and satisfaction; and

• Educating the public and key opinion and policy leaders on the economic and environmental benefits of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies.

To achieve these goals, FCHEA operates a number of working groups and committees, collaborating with our members on specific initiatives and technologies to help the industry thrive.

FCHEA originated in 1989 as the National Hydrogen Association, which later merged with the U.S. Fuel Cell Council.
