Celebrating Clean Hydrogen at Lincoln Financial Field
Key Ideas
  • The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and partners celebrate National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day at Lincoln Financial Field with the unveiling of a state-of-the-art hydrogen fueling station.
  • Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers clean and efficient transportation solutions, benefitting from zero pollution, water vapor emissions, tax incentives, and performance comparable to gas-powered vehicles.
  • SimpleFuel, developed by PDC Machines, is a successful clean hydrogen initiative that won the DOE's H2 Refuel H-Prize Competition in 2017, showcasing the growth of clean hydrogen infrastructure and applications in the U.S.
  • The collaboration between DOE, private companies, and the Philadelphia Eagles signifies a milestone in promoting green initiatives, clean energy, and technical innovation for emissions reduction in various sectors.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) marked National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day by partnering with the Philadelphia Eagles and industry leaders to unveil a cutting-edge hydrogen fueling station at Lincoln Financial Field. This station, capable of producing 10 kilograms of hydrogen per day, supports both fuel-cell-powered trucks and passenger vehicles, highlighting the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in decarbonizing the transportation sector. The Eagles' stadium complex, already equipped with over 10,000 solar panels, now hosts the SimpleFuel station developed by PDC Machines, allowing the team to utilize clean hydrogen produced on-site. This achievement is the result of a fruitful collaboration that began in 2017 and led to the successful transition of the SimpleFuel concept from an idea to a commercialized product. The growth of clean hydrogen infrastructure is evident in the significant increase in electrolyzer capacity in the U.S., with hydrogen playing an expanding role in transportation, particularly in heavy-duty and niche applications like material handling. The success of SimpleFuel and the proliferation of clean hydrogen initiatives indicate promising advancements towards reducing emissions in transportation and challenging-to-decarbonize sectors. This milestone at Lincoln Financial Field symbolizes a remarkable achievement in fostering sustainability, innovation, and collaboration in the clean energy industry.
