Linde North America has joined the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) H2USA partnership, which is focused on advancing hydrogen infrastructure to support more transportation energy options for U.S. consumers, including fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
The DOE says H2USA, which was launched in May 2013, brings together automakers, government agencies, gas suppliers, and the hydrogen and fuel cell industries to coordinate research and identify cost-effective solutions to deploy infrastructure that can deliver affordable, clean hydrogen fuel in the U.S.Â
‘We believe this DOE-led effort to create a consortium of like-minded public/private entities will accelerate the advancement of both fuel cell vehicles and the infrastructure required to expand their use throughout the U.S,’ says Pat Murphy, president of Linde North America.
Earlier this year, hydrogen fueling stations using Linde fueling technology in the U.S. passed the half-million mark in fills, powering a variety of vehicles, including forklifts, cars and buses, says Linde North America.
