Hydrogen-Powered Buses: fuel efficient, near-zero greenhouse gas emissions, and no air pollution
Visitors to federal facilities across the country may now have the opportunity to tour the sites in a hydrogen- powered shuttle bus. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting the demonstration of hydrogen-powered vehicles and hydrogen infrastructure at federal facilities across the country. Nine facilities will

Early Markets: Fuel Cells for Backup Power
Fuel cells convert the chemical energy in hydrogen to electricity with only water and heat as byproducts and are commercially available today for certain applications. One of these is emergency backup power. Today’s commercially available fuel cell backup power (BUP) systems are particularly appropriate for low-power a

Hydrogen Delivery
A viable hydrogen infrastructure requires that hydrogen be able to be delivered from where it’s produced to the point of end-use, such as a dispenser at a refueling station or stationary power site.
