ANDREW MARTINEZ

Andrew Martinez is a Staff Air Pollution Specialist in CARB’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Section, fulfilling the role of Hydrogen Program Expert. Since January, Andrew has also been the interim supervisor of the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Section, overseeing CARB’s activities in light-duty vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling. With respect to hydrogen, Andrew is responsible for analysis and reporting in support of the State’s hydrogen fueling infrastructure development efforts and CARB’s Advanced Clean Cars program. He is the lead author on CARB’s Annual Evaluation of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Deployment and Hydrogen Fuel Station Network Development, lead author of CARB’s Hydrogen Station Self-Sufficiency Analysis, and contributor to the annual Joint Agency Staff Report on AB 8. In his current role, he also develops geospatial analysis tools to track station progress and evolving auto manufacturer plans for future FCEV deployment and spatially assess needs for new hydrogen fueling infrastructure growth. Andrew consults with several groups internal to CARB that support the development of hydrogen fueling infrastructure, including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and represents CARB in public-private and cross-agency collaborative efforts. Andrew’s prior work includes air quality modeling, simulations and proof-of-concept of SOFC-gas turbine systems for locomotive applications, and analysis of SOFC microstructure. Andrew holds a doctorate and masters in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine and a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
