The US Department of Energy (DOE) is injecting $40 million into four hydrogen refuelling projects as part of a broader $62 million funding initiative. These projects are set to take place in New York, Connecticut, California, and Arizona, with each receiving $10 million to establish low-cost and replicable hydrogen refuelling stations. The focus is on supporting medium- and heavy-duty truck refuelling. Companies like Plug Power, Linde, FirstElement Fuel, and ZEV Stations are involved in these projects, alongside regional research institutions. In addition to the refuelling projects, there are plans to allocate funding for refuelling components, addressing permitting and safety challenges, community engagement, and hydrogen fuel cell-powered port equipment. The funding, initiated in December, is designed to accelerate research, development, demonstration, and deployment of affordable clean hydrogen technologies. The investment has received positive feedback, with US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasizing its role in building on the administration's clean energy investments. The aim is to create new economic prospects across the country and solidify America's position as a leader in clean energy technologies. While the article highlights the progress in hydrogen refuelling globally, particularly in Asia and Europe, there are challenges ahead. The Hydrogen Council predicts a rise in the deployment of hydrogen refuelling stations if government targets are met. Japan, South Korea, and the EU have ambitious plans to expand their networks by 2030. In Europe, the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) requires the deployment of hydrogen refuelling stations every 200km along key transport routes and urban nodes. The recent announcement of €120 million in funding further demonstrates the commitment to developing hydrogen infrastructure. The US DOE's investment aligns with the growing global interest in advancing hydrogen technologies for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
