Legislation introduced to develop hydrogen fuel station infrastructure

Bill supporting the expansion of the H2 fueling network
have been reintroduced.
The Hydrogen for Trucks Act is
one of four bills in a newly introduced legislation package and would
support the demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the
development of an H2
fueling station network.
The bipartisan Hydrogen Infrastructure Initiative bill
was reintroduced by 2 Senators earlier this month.
The four-bill Hydrogen
Infrastructure Initiative package is in support of the adoption of
hydrogen fuel as a clean energy source for powering energy-intensive
sectors.
It was reintroduced by Senators
Chris Coons (D-Delaware) and John Cornyn (R-Texas). Cosponsors of
the bill included Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Bill Cassidy
(R-Louisiana), Ben Ray Luján (D-New Mexico), John Hickenlooper
(D-Colorado), and Martin Heinrich (D-New Mexico).
The proposed legislation is meant
to offer targeted support for using H2 for high-value end-use
applications. It will also support refueling infrastructure
construction, including transportation, storage and delivery. It is
meant to provide support in particular to energy-intensive sectors
that are challenging to decarbonize, but where hydrogen fuel could be
particularly appropriate as a clean energy alternative.
Hydrogen fuel has considerable potential in trucking,
maritime, and heavy industry, among others.
The legislative
package is meant to give priority to areas where the result will
be the maximum emissions reductions. The point is to bring on the
largest possible environmental benefits.

The strategy could reduce the initial cost barriers that stand in the
way of those that would otherwise be willing to adopt it. According to
the Senators, the package enables partnerships and packages that will
help the US to take important steps forward toward meeting the
requirements of a strong H2 economy.
The Hydrogen for Trucks Act is,
as the name suggests, aimed specifically at the trucking industry. It
would support the demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty
vehicles and of H2 refueling stations. At the same time, it would
collect useful data to help direct future H2
trucking infrastructure investments.
Cost barriers for fleet operators
would be reduced, clearing the path for early adopters to include fuel
cell vehicles in their operations. Data and benchmarks would also
become readily available, said the senators, providing an incentive
for private investment and boosting demonstration and deployment.
