Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled plans to establish a groundbreaking hydrogen production and dispensing facility, HTWO Energy Savannah, near the Port of Savannah in Georgia. This facility, with an investment exceeding $30 million, is designed to generate 1,200 kilograms of hydrogen per day to support zero-emission heavy-duty trucking operations in the region. The project's first phase is slated to commence operations in the late fall, while the subsequent phase will introduce a dual-energy facility that also provides commercial electric vehicle charging services. HTWO Energy Savannah will play a crucial role in servicing Hyundai's new metaplant, a massive electric and hybrid vehicle production and battery manufacturing facility located in Ellabell, Georgia. The company plans to utilize Xcient hydrogen-powered trucks to transport goods within an eco-friendly, zero-emissions ecosystem. Notably, the hydrogen production site has the capacity to increase its output to 4,200 kilograms per day, accommodating various types of vehicles in response to potential demand growth. Hyundai envisions this initiative as a model for future applications across its U.S. operations. Additionally, the company highlights the importance of making hydrogen affordable by employing modular steam methane reforming (SMR) units, ensuring competitive pricing for consumers and fostering the expansion of the hydrogen economy. Jim Park, SVP of commercial vehicle and hydrogen fuel cell business for Hyundai Motor North America, hailed the facility as a breakthrough for the heavy-duty trucking sector, emphasizing its role in enabling clean logistics and supporting the company's electric vehicle manufacturing ambitions.
