In Pooler, Georgia, the city council is considering the approval of a proposal for an electric vehicle (EV) charging station and a HydroFleet manufacturing and fueling site at 500 Seaport Parkway. The facility, aimed at servicing environmentally friendly trucks powered by hydrogen and electric batteries, would produce hydrogen on-site to fuel the trucks. The discussion at the city council meeting primarily revolved around safety concerns related to the new facility. The applicant, representing Capital Development Partners, highlighted the groundbreaking zero-emission technology of hydrogen-powered trucks and the environmental benefits of using hydrogen as a fuel source. The proposed facility would cater to trucks traveling to and from the nearby Hyundai Plant in Bryan County. While concerns over safety were raised by council members, comparisons with existing hydrogen facilities in Camden County were made to address these worries. The fire chief of Camden County reported no issues in three years of operation, emphasizing the safety measures in place at such facilities. City officials also requested educational initiatives for the public to understand the safety aspects of hydrogen fueling stations. The potential benefits of the project for Pooler include environmental sustainability, economic growth through tax revenues, and reduced traffic with the introduction of innovative transportation solutions. The council unanimously voted to postpone the decision on the proposal until a town hall meeting can be held to address public concerns. If approved, the project could pave the way for future advancements in sustainable transportation and economic development in Pooler.
