Ohmium Revolutionizes Public Transportation with Green Hydrogen in Washington State
Key Ideas
  • Ohmium partners with Lewis County Transit to introduce a groundbreaking Zero Emission Transportation Network in Washington State.
  • A 900 kW PEM electrolyzer system will produce green hydrogen for Lewis County's expanding fleet of hydrogen-powered buses, eliminating the need for fuel delivery.
  • The new station, operational by summer 2025, aims to support the transition to zero-emission public transportation with plans to increase the number of hydrogen buses from three to ten by 2030.
  • The collaboration between Ohmium and Lewis County Transit demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of green hydrogen for public transport stations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Ohmium International, a leading green hydrogen company, has been selected as the electrolyzer supplier for Lewis County Transit's Zero Emission Transportation Network in Washington State. The partnership involves installing a 900 kW PEM electrolyzer system to produce green hydrogen at a new Zero Emissions Transit Station. This hydrogen will fuel Lewis County's hydrogen-powered buses, allowing for onsite generation and streamlining logistics. The station, set to be operational by 2025, will facilitate the expansion of Lewis County Transit's hydrogen vehicle fleet. Officials highlight the suitability of hydrogen buses for the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing their performance in cold climates and extended range compared to electric vehicles. Ohmium's CEO, Arne Ballantine, praises green hydrogen for public transport, citing its emission reduction benefits and sustainability. The company's modular electrolyzers are designed for easy installation in various climates and limited spaces, integrating with renewable energy sources efficiently. Lewis County Transit's Executive Director, Joe Clark, commends Ohmium's electrolyzer solution for its efficiency and compact footprint, tailored to their operational needs. This collaboration marks a significant step towards sustainable public transportation, showcasing the advantages of green hydrogen for fleets. Ohmium, headquartered in the US with global operations, specializes in scalable PEM electrolyzers for cost-effective green hydrogen production. The company's success in securing substantial financing and its extensive project pipeline illustrate the growing momentum of green hydrogen initiatives worldwide. Through the Lewis County project, Ohmium aims to set a precedent for similar green hydrogen refueling stations, promoting eco-friendly transportation solutions. The partnership between Ohmium and Lewis County Transit exemplifies a positive shift towards cleaner, more efficient public transportation options.
