BayoTech Relocates Northern California Hydrogen Hub to Accelerate Deployment

(P&GJ) — BayoTech has announced a shift in its Northern California hydrogen hub development, moving away from the originally planned Port of Stockton site to a new, yet-to-be-named location elsewhere in the region.

According to the company, the new site offers better alignment with its goals for faster project delivery, broader community benefits, and quicker deployment of local hydrogen supply. BayoTech expects to announce the new site later this year.

"The energy economy is changing rapidly, and the ability to adapt is critical," said David Best, CEO of BayoTech. "We're moving quickly to meet demand from public and private partners who recognize hydrogen's role in decarbonizing transportation and improving air quality, especially in disadvantaged communities disproportionately impacted by diesel and natural gas emissions."

The Port of Stockton project, originally approved in 2023, had received support from local officials, labor groups, and stakeholders and had passed environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Despite the relocation, BayoTech reaffirmed its commitment to California-based workforce development, including job creation and partnerships in STEM education.

The company said multiple hubs are planned, including one in Northern California, and that construction is expected to begin soon.

BayoTech’s hydrogen hubs are designed to produce and deliver low-carbon hydrogen near areas of demand, powering fuel cell vehicles, public transit fleets, and industrial applications while improving air quality.
