From the U.S. Department of Energy website:
"Hydrogen can be produced from diverse, domestic resources. Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, specifically natural gas."

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your comment. FYI hydrogen is not considered a fossil fuel, so would be exempt, as would any bio-fuels that are 100% renewable (ie no fossil fuel content).

Hydrogen is considered to be a fossil fuel and there have been recent large investments and advancements in this clean fuel technology for powering automobiles.
Therefore, the new definition proposed for “Automotive gas or fueling station” should be amended to rightfully include an exception for hydrogen fuel.
