• New Bay Area hydrogen plant aims to boost clean energy supply for North Bay and state (pressdemocrat.com) — Mill Valley’s TrueZero hydrogen station is one of just two North Bay fueling sites that could benefit from a new hydrogen supply coming from K2 Pure Solutions’ Pittsburg plant. The facility plans to start selling its byproduct hydrogen in early 2026, potentially lowering costs and easing supply constraints for local drivers, transit agencies, and truck fleets across the region.
