Summary

The Florida Hydrogen Initiative has announced three new projects that will further the state's investment in hydrogen power and build up its hydrogen infrastructure. The new projects include a 10 kilowatt fuel cell to power a highway rest stop, a traveling museum exhibit detailing the development of hydrogen power, and grants for universities to design a hydrogen infrastructure for Orlando. Florida is hoping to become a leader in the development of hydrogen power.

Details

  • Congressman Dave Weldon and the Florida Hydrogen Initiative (FHI) today announced three hydrogen energy projects as part of a multi-million dollar effort to advance Florida's hydrogen economy.
  • The projects include the installation of a fuel cell at a bustling Florida interstate rest area, a hydrogen energy museum exhibit at the Orlando Science Center and a plan for mobile hydrogen infrastructure in metro Orlando.
  • 'Florida is uniquely positioned to make positive contributions to our nation's hydrogen future, for a variety of reasons," said Congressman Weldon, 'And I think the programs represented in these three grant awards illustrate that fact."
  • Over the last two years, FHI received $4 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to support hydrogen projects in Florida.
  • * Clean Power for an Interstate Rest Area: A $550,000 grant to Ener1, Inc., will support the installation of a 10 kilowatt fuel cell at an interstate rest area in Florida.
  • * Hydrogen Science Education: The Orlando Science Center will receive $199,500 to develop a 'Hy-Tech" museum exhibit showcasing hydrogen energy technology.
  • Analysts will use sophisticated computer modeling to evaluate data on traffic flow, tourist destinations, demographics, hydrogen vehicle range and other key information.
  • 'These three exciting projects add great value to Florida as an emerging center of the new hydrogen economy," said FHI Chairman Steve Adams.
  • 'With the leadership of Congressman Weldon, Florida is establishing strong partnerships, supporting focused research and providing public education on the benefits of hydrogen energy for the Sunshine State."
  • The Florida Hydrogen Initiative is a nonprofit organization that seeks to move Florida to the forefront of the nation's hydrogen economy.
  • Fostered by the leadership of Congressman Weldon, FHI uses grants to aid the development of a vigorous Florida-based hydrogen industry.
