The Texas Emission Reduction Program recently awarded $500,000 to truck manufacturer Vision Industries Corporation, nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund, Air Projects and project partners to partially fund the building of the first public hydrogen fueling station in the state.
The station, which is proposed to be fed from an existing hydrogen pipeline, will fuel new hydrogen fuel cell electric hybrid trucks being developed by Vision for the Port of Houston. The station will also provide fuel for future hydrogen equipment and vehicles used at other facilities, including warehouses and distribution centers.
The organizations were awarded the funds through the TERP Alternative Fueling Facilities Program.
