Hydrogen Home Tour
The [H2] Innovation Experience is North America's first-ever clean hydrogen powered microgrid and home. This project demonstrates how carbon-free gas made from renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to fuel energy systems and communities of the future.
Named a World-Changing Idea by Fast Company and awarded the U.S. Green Building Council of L.A.’s Sustainable Innovation Award, the [H2]IE features clean hydrogen production and storage along with a nearly 2,000 square-foot home that can draw power from solar panels and convert excess renewable energy into clean hydrogen.

Annual Membership Meeting & Fireside Chat
Join us on the evening of Feb 9, starting at 5:30 pm, for an insightful discussion on the shifting dynamics of global trade and retail. The event, moderated by FuturePorts Chair, Kat Janowicz, will spotlight a Fireside Chat with prominent figures: Assemblymember Mike Gipson, Chair of the Select Committee on Ports and Goods Movement, Chris Shimoda, Senior VP of Government Affairs at the California Trucking Association; and Rachel Michelin, President & CEO of the California Retailers Association.
The evening will begin with a networking session and include the Installation of FuturePorts' board of directors.
Our discussion will explore the impact of trade policies on global commerce, including how tariffs and shifts between Just-In-Time and Just-In-Case strategies, along with geopolitical events, are reshaping trade patterns and affecting California. A significant development in 2023, where the U.S. imported more goods from Mexico than from China for the first time in two decades, signals a profound change in trade dynamics. This backdrop will guide our conversation on navigating California's unique trade challenges and opportunities, aiming to promote growth in the region's retail and trade sectors.
This event is a must-attend for professionals seeking to understand the current trends, confront the challenges, and seize the opportunities in the global trade sector. Engage with experts, connect with peers, and contribute to shaping a sustainable future for our industry.
