Founded in January 2006, the Alliance was created by six core institutions and organizations devoted to hydrogen and fuel cell initiatives:
The SCHFCA is a non-profit partnership of government, business, academia and citizens working
together to grow the economies of local communities, the state and the nation, to enable energy
security and to limit our environmental footprint with the use of hydrogen and fuel cell
technologies that are cost-effective, convenient and produced with local resources.

Update: Growth in state revenues faltered during the final two months of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, leaving actual revenues falling short of hoped-for revenues by $80.8 million. As a result, $80.8 million in contingent and supplemental appropriations, which had been designated for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2008, can not be authorized for payment, including $5 million for the South Carolina Research Authority for hydrogen grants.
For more information on the shortfall, please view the official press release from the South Carolina Comptroller General's office (PDF).
