Fuel cells have great potential and are demonstrating tremendous value as a clean energy source in New Jersey.

“Fuel cells are a highly efficient and reliable alternative to fossil fuels that challenge our conventional understanding of energy and fuel sources. We are seeing smart businesses across the state embrace fuel cells from a sustainability, cost, and resiliency perspective.”

“By ensuring that State agencies make innovation a priority, this law will stimulate greater use of fuel cells across New Jersey that will benefit both our economy and the environment.”
