The Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration have awarded almost $25 million in grant funding to the Port of Houston Authority for the construction of a hydrogen fueling station for heavy-duty trucks. The project, named Bayport HRS, will be a pipeline-based Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) designed and operated by Linde Inc., a global industrial gases company. This initiative is part of a public-private collaboration involving partners like GTI Energy, Argonne National Laboratory, and the Center for Houston’s Future. The Bayport HRS project aims to provide high fueling throughput and convenient access to hydrogen fuel, supporting supply chain development in Texas and the Gulf-Coast region. Port Houston's CEO and Chief Infrastructure Officer highlighted the project's alignment with the port's Sustainability Action Plan, focusing on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and promoting clean transportation. Linde Inc., as one of the largest hydrogen producers globally, will leverage its expertise and hydrogen production assets to develop key hydrogen infrastructure for heavy transport decarbonization in Texas. The collaboration also includes GTI Energy, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and innovative infrastructure in driving hydrogen integration for a low-cost, low-carbon future. The venture not only supports national strategies for transportation decarbonization but also aims to accelerate the adoption of clean hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors like heavy-duty trucking. It aligns with the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and other clean energy initiatives, marking significant progress towards a sustainable and resilient future. The Port of Houston's effective grants program has been instrumental in securing funding for sustainability projects, with last year's grants totaling nearly $57 million. The awarded $25 million grant for the Bayport HRS project signifies a strong start for Port Houston's sustainability efforts in 2025, further reinforcing the commitment to decarbonization and energy transition.
