Sacramento, Calif. – The National Hydrogen Association recently presented its Meritorious Service Award to Catherine Dunwoody, California Fuel Cell Partnership’s executive director. The award recognizes her leadership and commitment to the advancement of hydrogen fuel
cell transportation over the past decade. Ms. Dunwoody was nominated by Proton Energy Systems, a CaFCP associate member.

“Catherine Dunwoody’s leadership, passion, and significant personal contributions in the promotion of hydrogen dramatically differentiate her from her peers as a beacon of respect and high character,” said Mark Schiller of Proton Energy Systems, which designs and manufactures electrolyzer systems that generate hydrogen from water. “Catherine has grown the organization from a concept to a global leader in fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen fuel.”
