Plug Power to Build Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure in Pullman with $10M DOE Grant
Key Ideas
  • Plug Power, a leading developer of hydrogen power, will build a hydrogen fueling infrastructure in Pullman with a $10 million DOE grant.
  • The infrastructure will support both cars and heavy-duty trucks, featuring a hi-flow, direct fill fueling station.
  • Washington State University will collaborate on the project using its advanced cryogenics lab to optimize thermofluid models for the station.
  • Once operational in 2026, the facility could potentially power part or all of the WSU vehicle fleet on campus, emitting only water vapor instead of carbon emissions.
Plug Power, a renowned tech company in the field of hydrogen power, has secured a $10 million grant from the Department of Energy to establish a hydrogen fueling infrastructure in Pullman. This initiative aims to cater to vehicles, including heavy-duty trucks, by constructing a specialized hi-flow, direct fill fueling station. The collaboration with Washington State University will leverage the institution's cryogenics lab to enhance thermofluid models for the station. Expected to be operational by 2026, the facility holds the potential to power a portion or the entirety of the WSU vehicle fleet on campus, promoting the reduction of carbon emissions with the utilization of hydrogen. This project forms part of a broader effort across 15 states receiving DOE funding to advance hydrogen technology for vehicles, showcasing the versatility and environmental benefits of hydrogen power in the transportation sector.
