Hydrogen fueling is coming to the Port of Houston, but at this stage of the game it\u2019s for trucks, not ships \u2013 even though hydrogen is a leading candidate as one of shipping\u2019s new clean, green fuels,<\/a><\/p>\n The Port of Houston Authority reports that the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have awarded it nearly $25 million that will be used to construct and operate a hydrogen fueling station for heavy-duty trucks.<\/p>\n The funding has been awarded as part of a public-private collaboration between Port Houston and industrial gases company Linde In<\/a>c., with additional partners GTI Energy, Argonne National Laboratory, and Center for Houston\u2019s Future. This award.<\/p>\n The project, Bayport HRS, will result in an innovative pipeline-based Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS), which will offer high fueling throughput with convenient and publicly accessible fueling options, further enabling supply chain development in Texas and the Gulf-Coast region. Linde will design, construct, own and operate the new facility, creating a cost-effective heavy-duty (HD) truck hydrogen fueling station in Bayport, Texas.<\/p>\n The project supports the port\u2019s Sustainability Action Plan and ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. It also aligns with national strategies for transportation decarbonization and clean hydrogen.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Houston Ship Channel is the busiest waterway in the nation,\u201d said Port Houston CEO Charlie Jenkins. \u201cAs one of the channel\u2019s leading advocates, Port Houston is committed to fostering sustainability, resilience, collaboration, and quality of life for the community and nation we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Port Houston gets $25M hydrogen refueling station grant<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
