Linde has been awarded $10 million (€9 million) by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to lead the demonstration of cost-effective, standardised, and replicable advanced hydrogen fuelling infrastructure for heavy-duty trucks in La Porte, Texas.
The hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) will offer high fuelling throughput with convenient and accessible fuelling options to businesses and transportation fleets in the region, as well as tube trailer filling to enable supply chain development in the Gulf Coast region.
The HRS will be located in the heart of Linde’s robust hydrogen pipeline complex that supplies over 1 billion cubic feet (28 million m3) per day of hydrogen to the area, enabling access to reliable and low-cost feedstock.
The funding is part of DOE’s efforts to advance the National Clean Hydrogen Strategy to accelerate the research, development, demonstration, and deployment of next-generation clean hydrogen technologies.
