International Hydrogen Initiatives
As countries worldwide seek to lower their carbon emissions, many public and private initiatives are underway to expand the use of hydrogen fuel. Because it creates zero carbon emissions at the tailpipe and offers greater efficiency and operational benefits than many battery-electric alternatives, hydrogen fuel is a viable solution for many countries’ sustainability efforts. To […]
Powering Emergency Relief Vehicles with Hydrogen
Recently, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security partnered with Accelera by Cummins Inc. to develop a hydrogen-powered emergency relief vehicle. The result is H2 Rescue, a Class 7 truck that runs on hydrogen fuel cells and serves as a mobile generator that can power up to 20 […]
A Brief History of Hydrogen Safety
Hydrogen fuel has been used for industrial purposes for over 100 years (Rivkin et al., 2015). Prior to that, hydrogen has been a known material for an additional 100 years. Thus, the features of hydrogen have been widely studied and are well-known to researchers and developers of new fueling technology. According to the U.S. Department […]
Benefits of Delivered Hydrogen
For businesses looking to transition to hydrogen fuel, our delivered hydrogen solution can be a beneficial option. It can supplement on-site hydrogen generation or provide hydrogen fuel for operations that don’t generate their own. Hydrogen is delivered ready to fuel, with no additional compression needed. Delivered hydrogen offers multiple benefits including flexibility, affordability, and safety. […]
The Changing Landscape of Emissions Regulations
As federal, state, and local governments look for ways to decrease carbon emissions, new regulations on air quality, emissions, and fuel sources are changing the way many industries operate. Many fleets once powered by diesel or gasoline fuels will need to transition to a low- or zero-emissions alternative in the coming years. Navigating this process […]
Study Shows Hydrogen Fuel Cell Forklifts Reduce Maintenance Costs
Recently, The United States Postal Service (USPS) implemented a pilot project to determine the operational and financial impacts of switching its powered industrial vehicles (PIVs) from lead-acid batteries to hydrogen fuel cells. PIVs used included forklifts, tow motors, and pallet jacks. The battery systems negatively impacted productivity due to their extended charging times, short lifespan, […]
World Moving Toward Clean Energy Solutions
Hydrogen, the most profuse element on earth, plays a crucial role in the development of clean energy solutions in that it provides a versatile energy source that transitions to a suitable energy alternative. It is regarded as a dynamic clean energy carrier when used in hydrogen fuel cells. As a source of fuel, hydrogen can […]
Hydrogen Safety Standards and Regulations
As more organizations transition to hydrogen fuel for their operations, standardized safety procedures and regulations are key to ensuring operational success and employee safety. Both government and non-government regulatory bodies have developed best-practices for the safe generation, handling, and utilization of hydrogen. As with all fuels, safety procedures for hydrogen are centered on preventing the […]
Ford Announces Hydrogen Transit Van Test Fleet
American automaker Ford Motor Company recently announced plans to test hydrogen-powered transit vans in the United Kingdom. The test will take place over three years and will use Ford’s electric E-Transit van models that have been adapted to run on hydrogen fuel cells. Ford will partner with B.P. to provide the hydrogen and infrastructure for […]
Kenworth Announces Hydrogen Fuel Cell Heavy-Duty Truck
Kenworth recently announced plans to expand its lineup of clean energy trucking solutions with the launch of the T680 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). These Class 8 trucks will be powered by Toyota fuel cell technology and will produce zero carbon emissions at the tailpipe. Designed for long distances, the T680 FCEV will have […]
