Key Ideas
  • Manufacturers and fuel producers are working on solutions to address the economic and operational hurdles fleets face with hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
  • Companies like Stars Technology and TO Viridi are developing innovative methods to produce hydrogen efficiently and sustainably, reducing transportation costs.
  • Efforts are being made to optimize the value chain, collaborate, achieve economies of scale, and lower costs in the hydrogen production and delivery process.
  • Air Liquide and Air Products are rolling out advanced hydrogen production and delivery technologies with high carbon capture rates to ensure a reliable and environmentally friendly hydrogen supply.
At the ACT Expo in Anaheim, experts discussed the challenges and solutions related to hydrogen infrastructure development. Manufacturers and fuel producers are focusing on finding affordable and available hydrogen solutions to support the large-scale adoption of fuel cell systems and internal combustion engines. The industry is realizing the importance of addressing economic and operational obstacles that fleets encounter with hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Efforts are being made to optimize the value chain, collaborate, and achieve economies of scale to drive down costs in the hydrogen production process. Companies like Stars Technology and TO Viridi are working on innovative ways to produce hydrogen efficiently and sustainably. Stars Technology is commercializing compact hydrogen production systems to make hydrogen more competitive compared to diesel. TO Viridi has developed a system to isolate hydrogen from ethanol, offering a flexible and efficient way to produce and store hydrogen. Air Liquide and Air Products are introducing advanced delivery systems with high carbon capture rates to ensure a reliable and environmentally friendly hydrogen supply. While the industry is progressing with new solutions, there is a call for more certainty and increased demand to further drive the market. Collaborative efforts between manufacturers, fuel producers, and infrastructure developers are crucial to overcoming the challenges and making hydrogen a viable and attractive option for the future of transportation.
