Plug Supplies Walmart with Green Hydrogen to Fuel Retailer's Fleet of Material Handling Lift Trucks
Plug Power Inc. today announced an agreement with Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) for an option to deliver up to 20 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen to power material handling lift trucks across Walmart distribution and fulfillment centers in the U.S., marking an additional step the retailer is taking to incorporate alternative zero-carbon energy sources throughout Walmart’s supply chain. This is one of the first green hydrogen supply contracts for Plug, validating the company’s multi-year investment in its green hydrogen network.
Metrolink becomes 1st passenger-rail agency in US powered by 100% renewable diesel
Metrolink said it continues to pursue zero-emissions technologies of hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric, and that it “regards renewable fuel as a bridge to zero emissions.” By reducing locomotive emissions, Metrolink is easing environmental impacts on climate change and improving air quality for all.

The renewable fuel is made of recycled natural fats and vegetable oils and serves as a bridge for Metrolink’s transition to zero-emission technologies.
Hydrogen fuel cells are finally attracting VC interest
The Sea Change was launched into the water outside the California Bay Area in early February. It is the first commercial vessel powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells—and a major milestone in a decades-long effort to combat the world’s emissions crisis and save companies money in the process.

Arrow line passenger train makes test run
The DMUS are a precursor to first-in-the-country zero-emission trains that are expected to be delivered for the Arrow line around 2024.
The zero-emission trains will use hydrogen fuel cell battery technology that emits only water vapor.

Honda to Install Stationary Fuel Cell Power Station on California Campus as First Step Toward Commercialization of Zero-Emission Backup Power Generation
While Honda remains committed to developing fuel cell systems for passenger vehicles, the market for fuel cell systems to power larger trucks and transport ships, as well as stationary generation, is expanding rapidly in the U.S. and is expected to grow to over $86.7 billion annually by 2030. Data centers in particular require high-quality and reliable power, where any disruption in power supply can lead to downtime or problems such as data corruption and damage to servers.

Sandia influences ocean research with hybrid hydrogen fuel cell vessel design
Lennie Klebanoff, Sandia CRF scientist, and his collaborators from Scripps and Glosten, designed a hydrogen hybrid vessel to be used for oceanographic research. Their model met Scripps’ fourteen science mission needs while satisfying the speed, stability, and other requirements of a high-performance research vessel.

Energy Observer 2: a new zero-emission ship
After having developed an autonomous laboratory vessel with the first complete hydrogen chain, capable of producing its own hydrogen with its surplus of renewable energies, Energy Observer is taking a new step by launching the design of the most representative ship of the maritime transport industry: a multipurpose cargo ship fuelled by liquid hydrogen, a technology that allows zero-emission navigation, while offering very high transport capacities and great autonomy.

Clean energy Coast Futura rail demo met with excitement, hope for the future
Spanning two weekends — one each in Watsonville and Santa Cruz — the clean-energy, all-electric light rail vehicle gave the community a tangible example of what car-free travel could be like in the region.
More than 2,000 people took rides on the Coast Futura, including families, people with limited mobility and local elected officials. The streetcar demonstration was produced with support from a collaboration that included about 120 local volunteers, Roaring Camp Railroads and TIG/m, which manufactures the streetcar.
Caterpillar (CAT), Chevron to Pilot Hydrogen-Powered Locomotive
All the parties have entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to demonstrate a locomotive powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Progress Rail will design and build a prototype hydrogen fuel cell locomotive for line-haul and/or other types of rail service. Chevron will develop the fueling concept and infrastructure to support the use of the locomotive. The prototype hydrogen fuel cell locomotive will then be demonstrated on BNSF’s lines for a mutually agreed upon period of time. However, the demonstration project is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
US Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Ferry Completes First Fueling
Switch Maritime, which built the vessel as the first in a series it plans to develop with hydrogen propulsion, reported that the Sea Change completed its first hydrogen fueling. At All American Marine shipyard in Bellingham, Washington, the Sea Change received hydrogen into its 242 kg tanks on the upper deck. The fueling during sea trials is being handled by West Coast Clean Fuels, which Switch retained to develop and permit the end-to-end fuel supply chains that will deliver hydrogen to the Sea Change, as well as BayoTech, for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen delivery using transport trailer-to-ship transfer to Sea Change during sea trials in Washington.
The Sea Change uses a first-of-its-kind maritime hydrogen and fuel cell system designed and developed by Zero Emission Industries. The company also developed the system demonstrated during the fueling on November 18 that allows the vessel to receive gaseous hydrogen directly from a hydrogen truck. The fuel loaded in the vessel’s tanks included green hydrogen, produced in California by an electrolyzer powered with renewable solar power.
Having successfully performed the first hydrogen fueling, the Sea Change is now performing final operational sea trials before delivery from the shipyard and before starting operations in the California Bay Area in Q1 2022.
