New station of twin stacks able to supply 500+ kW of power; system further shows Honda’s belief in hydrogen energy.
Here’s an article posted in Cleantechnica.
According to the article,
- Hydrogen Power Station: Honda is working on a new stationary hydrogen power station to provide backup power
- Zero Emission Future: The hydrogen power station could be a path to a zero-emission future eventually.
- Climate Crisis: The climate crisis is causing significant, immediate challenges at the global scale, and some question whether waiting decades for Honda to deploy meaningful zero-emission hydrogen solutions is the best approach when they could be building and selling zero-emission battery electric vehicles today
Honda is integrating hydrogen fuel cell technology into its products in several ways beyond stationary power stations:
- Commercial Vehicles: Honda has partnered with Isuzu Motors to develop heavy-duty trucks powered by fuel cells. The companies plan to test a prototype model on public roads by March 2027 and launch a production model in 2027.
- Construction Machinery: Honda aims to apply its fuel cell systems to excavators and wheel loaders, with the potential for further applications in the construction machinery sector.
- Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs): Honda’s next-generation fuel cell technology is expected to be particularly effective for heavier vehicles like HGVs, which require long-distance transportation and quick refueling.
- General Motors Partnership: Honda is co-developing a next-generation fuel cell system with General Motors, which will be used in various applications, including commercial vehicles and construction machinery.
- Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) for Other Markets: Honda plans to begin sales of its CR-V FCEV model in North America and Japan next year, expanding its FCEV lineup beyond the current Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.
These diverse applications demonstrate Honda’s commitment to hydrogen fuel cell technology as a key component in its strategy for a sustainable future.
