• Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (HFCP) launches national hydrogen mobility strategy that focuses on building a hydrogen fueling network across the U.S. for heavy-duty trucks, enabling links between ports, hydrogen hubs and more.
• HFCP evolution to a national nonprofit reflects the growth of hydrogen mobility in California and the acceleration of hydrogen in the United States and across the world.

Moss Landing, California – Verdagy, a pioneer in scaling electrolyzer technologies for industrial markets, demonstrated the commercial efficacy of its unique water electrolysis technology, eDynamic™, with two significant milestones on the path to cost- effective hydrogen at scale. Verdagy is engineering the world’s largest membrane-based electrochemical cells to drive down the investment and energy required for generating industrial hydrogen. The recent successful pilots validate the durability and scalability of its technology:

New York, NY – National Grid kicked off Climate Week NYC 2022 by introducing a model to develop and deliver a large-scale, clean and fossil-free energy hub across the entirety of Long Island. This can serve as an innovation beacon for the region and the entire United States. A future where clean energy hubs populate the region, accelerating the clean energy future, is National Grid’s Northeast Clean Energy Vision. The Long Island clean energy hub outlined in the vision will contain four key components working together:

Each month the California Fuel Cell Partnership publishes the latest statistics on how many fuel cell cars have been sold and leased, how many fuel cell buses are on the road, and how many hydrogen stations are open in California.

The Director of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership in Europe Bart Biebuyck is looking forward to introducing the the Belfast Met led EU hydrogen project GenComm session at EU Energy Week on September 27 2022 in Brussels.

Dutch hydrogen fuel cell system developer zepp.solutions has presented their new 150 kW fuel cell system for heavy-duty applications. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to serve applications up to megawatt scale. The system is available in different configurations for rooftop, engine bay or machine room applications.

Stadler and San Bernardino County Transit Authority (SBCTA) are presenting Stadler’s fist hydrogen FLIRT at InnoTrans. The FLIRT H2 for SBCTA is Stadler’s newest addition to its alternative drive portfolio. It will start operations in California in 2024 as the first hydrogen train in American passenger transport. The multiple unit is equipped with a modular power pack that is capable of powering four-car train. The power pack accommodates the entire hydrogen technology, from the fuel cells and batteries to the hydrogen tanks. This means that hydrogen technology is spatially clearly separated from the passenger compartments of the train.
