In a recent Pooler City Council Meeting, plans for an innovative EV and hydrogen fueling station at 500 Seabrook Parkway were unveiled by attorney John Northup, representing Capitol Development Partners. Despite safety concerns raised by the public, Northup assured that hydrogen technology, although relatively new, can be as safe or even safer than conventional fuels. The proposed station aims to fuel approximately 20-30 environmentally friendly trucks per day, particularly those from Hyundai's Metaplant. Northup highlighted the environmental benefits of hydrogen, emphasizing its zero-emission nature and the production of only water vapor when burned. Safety measures, including hydrogen leak detection in trucks, were also discussed to mitigate fire risks. The project, a first of its kind in the area, will offer both hydrogen fuel and EV charging, catering to the fast-growing Hyundai plant. The ease of hydrogen production, improved air quality, energy efficiency, and reduced noise pollution were among the advantages highlighted. A town hall meeting is scheduled to address community queries. While Pooler Mayor Karen Williams declined to comment, the initiative is expected to bring positive advancements in green technology to the Pooler community.
