New Hydrogen Fueling Station and Buses

As reported in the October 15 edition of CT Environmental Headlines, earlier this month Proton Energy Systems, an on-site hydrogen generation company, and SunHydro, a firm developing hydrogen fueling stations, opened the state’s first hydrogen fueling station at 10 Technology Drive in Wallingford.

Proton Energy Systems and SunHydro are sister companies and the station will run under the SunHydro banner. The solar-powered station marks the start of the East Coast Hydrogen Highway SunHydro is creating to make it possible to travel from Maine to Florida using hydrogen.

Also this month, four fuel cell-powered hybrid-electric transit buses were introduced in Hartford. They join an earlier generation bus that began service in 2007.
