The Port of Houston is taking a significant step towards greener operations by introducing a hydrogen fueling station specifically for heavy-duty trucks. Thanks to funding of almost $25 million from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), this project, called Bayport HRS, is a collaboration between the Port of Houston Authority and industrial gases company Linde Inc., alongside partners GTI Energy, Argonne National Laboratory, and Center for Houston’s Future. The innovative pipeline-based Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) will offer high fueling throughput and publicly accessible options, supporting supply chain development in Texas and the Gulf-Coast region. Linde Inc. will be responsible for designing, constructing, owning, and operating this new facility in Bayport, Texas, providing a cost-effective solution for heavy-duty truck hydrogen fueling. This initiative is part of Port Houston's Sustainability Action Plan, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050, and is in line with national efforts for transportation decarbonization and clean hydrogen. Port Houston's CEO, Charlie Jenkins, highlighted the port's dedication to sustainability, resilience, collaboration, and improving the quality of life for the community and the nation, especially considering the high traffic on the Houston Ship Channel, known as the busiest waterway in the U.S.
