Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems’ hydrogen for transportation solution touts ability to reduce emissions and cut costs for the long-haul trucking sector.
The H2 conference wraps up today and I promised to post about the interesting things that I’ve discovered. On the first day I came across two interesting technologies one of which we’ll highlight in this post.
I will also be posting my overall impressions of the hydrogen industry. As I suspected it would - the conference has altered my perspective on the hydrogen market.
But on to the Empire Hydrogen Energy Systems technology. In a nutshell it’s a retrofit for long-haul trucks that the company claims can cut diesel costs by 25% and emissions by 50%. The approach isn’t what I would call elegant or industry changing, but if the claims are accurate, it is deployable today and offers a relatively short payback period.
Mind you, I gleaned the information from an enthusiastic member of the Hydrogen Group which has a sales agreement with the developer, Empire Hydrogen, and I haven’t had a chance to vet it. I hope to connect directly with Empire Hydrogen and gain additional insights.
