Listen "Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses in the Midwest"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode with talk with Karl Gnadt from Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District in Champaign, IL and Kirt Conrad from Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) about their deployments of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Buses. While Kirt had installed a storage tank for fuel to be trucked in, Karl took a different approach by building out a facility that can produce its own Hydrogen utilizing solar panels and selling excess power back into the grid. This was an interesting exploration into what a transit operator experiences when utilizing Hydrogen in their fleet. There are great recommendations for the industry, specifically for OEMs, on improvements that can be made that will both extend range and decrease infrastructure costs.
