Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC, a provider of fuel cell power solutions for on- and off-road mobility and other applications, joins the nation in celebrating the ninth annual National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, which marks the growth of the industry by raising awareness of the benefits hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies provide in reducing emissions while driving economic growth.

Hydrogen, the smallest element in the universe, has huge potential as a clean energy source. Using hydrogen (H2) as a fuel and as a means of storing energy could reduce our dependence on petroleum and help us reduce air pollution and greenhouse emissions to meet our goals for a cleaner and better climate. However, adopting hydrogen power on a large scale requires advances in technology and the creation of new infrastructure. Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are leading local and national projects aimed at optimizing all stages of the hydrogen energy lifecycle, from engineering technologies for cost-effective and environmentally friendly production of hydrogen gas all the way to developing efficient hydrogen fuel cells.

While battery-electric vehicles have seen a boost through OEM development, regulatory mandates, and government funding, their zero-emission cousins are starting to see similar support.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are not overwhelming the roadways just yet, but there are more than just plans in place to change that. OEMs for every class of vehicle are at the very least developing new hydrogen-fueled vehicles and the government has taken notice. As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, $8 billion has been earmarked for regional clean hydrogen hubs, in hopes of dropping the price of the fuel while simultaneously increasing the availability.

The key to revolutionizing the world's energy landscape may lie in an unlikely love story, says Ørsted CEO of P2X Olivia Breese. She details the fateful marriage of a green electron and a water molecule -- a powerful source of carbon-free, sustainable energy -- and calls for universal investment in this potentially transformative resource. "A world which runs entirely on green energy, it's not a luxury. It's a necessity," she says.

Today, Advent proudly joins the U.S.A. in celebrating National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, observed each year on October 8 in recognition of the atomic mass of hydrogen – 1.008. It’s clearer than ever that green hydrogen and fuel cells are assuming a pivotal role across various sectors, including transportation, stationary power, and industrial applications. These technologies have the potential to bolster energy security, enhance resilience, and drive thriving economies worldwide! Aiming to expedite global decarbonization through green hydrogen and innovative fuel cell solutions, Advent is making significant strides toward our goal of introducing our HT-PEM technology to the market. We’re actively engaged in developing world-class fuel cells and electrolysers with a low total cost of ownership and a profound environmental impact.

t’s National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day! #Hydrogen #fuelcells are replacing carbon-intensive fuels in the transportation, power, and industrial sectors. By 2050, hydrogen could cut 16% of all U.S. CO2 emissions!

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, transportation accounts for 14% of global emissions, and in the United States, 23% of emissions from transportation is due to medium- and heavy-duty trucking.

Therefore, it’s paramount we find effective solutions to reduce emissions in the trucking industry. Hydrogen can be used to convert heavy transportation like trucks from diesel to zero emissions. When hydrogen is used to create electricity in a fuel cell vehicle, the only emission is water.
