Few innovations in transportation have been more transformative than aviation. Air travel has shrunk the world, connecting people and products to places across the globe. This innovation comes with a climate cost, however - in 2022 aviation accounted for outlined in a prior FCHEA “Transition” blog post , hydrogen can be used to fuel aerial vehicles both through direct use in fuel cell electric powertrains, and in the creation of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) that reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional aircraft fuel. Due to its high energy density, hydrogen provides a robust source ..read more

On March 12, the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation - in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency - released the . The strategy serves as another tool that federal and state governments, utility and energy providers, fleets and technology providers, ports and freight logistics companies, as well as local communities can use to transition towards zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE – MHDV) nationwide, including both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks ..read more

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It has also been ubiquitous in the news lately, with a constant drumbeat of funding announcements, joint partnerships, business developments, investment decisions, and more. As governments strive towards net-zero emissions goals, hydrogen continues to drive deep decarbonization in the hardest-to-abate sectors like aviation, heavy transportation, shipping, industrial processes, and more. On October 8, 2023, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA), its members, the broader industry, and our allies will be celebrating the accomp ..read more

With the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) the latest award winners for the FY23 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities and Low- and No-Emission (Low-No) Vehicle programs – including over $100 million for projects that included Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) and hydrogen fueling infrastructure– we thought it would be a good time to explore the recent developments in FCEB deployment and highlight the forward-thinking transit agencies and innovative manufacturers driving this transformation ..read more

On August 16, 2022, with the stroke of a pen, the nation catapulted ahead in the global race to lead the clean energy transition with the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).  The IRA is one of the most significant actions Congress has taken to foster and support the deployment of clean energy technologies in the U.S. to not only meet our critical decarbonization goals, but also stimulate investment and expansion of domestic manufacturing, job creation, and economic development.  On the first anniversary since its passage, we are already seeing tremendous movement to fulfill ..read more

On July 12, 2023, Ireland its first-ever National Hydrogen Strategy. With minimal production or end-uses today, Ireland has a unique opportunity to rapidly scale its nascent hydrogen industry. In order to meet its ambitious goals of a climate-neutral economy, Ireland plans to produce at least 37 gigawatts (GW) of offshore renewable energy by 2050, with 2 GW going towards the production of hydrogen by 2035. In this blog post, we will dive deeper into the key elements of the National Hydrogen Strategy. Sláinte ..read more

Supported by strong investment from the public and private sectors, ports have set ambitious emissions reduction targets as they work towards becoming key drivers of large-scale industrial decarbonization. However, hydrogen deployments at ports are not a new concept. There has been interest in decarbonizing ports for some time, with the Department of Energy (DOE) supporting several successful projects and initiatives like the in 2019. In this blog, we will dive deeper into the recent hydrogen activities taking place in ports across the United States and internationally ..read more
