Proton Energy Systems secures $1.8m military hydrogen refuelling contract
Proton Energy Systems secures $1.8m contract to bring hydrogen base fleet refuelling to military vehicles
The U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Centre (TARDEC) announced Monday it has awarded a $1.8 million contract to Proton Energy Systems to develop an advanced hydrogen fuelling system capable of sustaining a military fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Proton Energy specializes in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers for hydrogen generators, which are designed for commercial as well as military base fleet fuelling. Employing hydrogen generators to replace traditional fuelling systems will result in several key advantages, including the ability to fuel specialty military vehicles with reduced consumption of fossil fuels and increased efficiency and productivity. In addition, the hydrogen generators are compatible with the power characteristics of international grid systems, and can integrate with renewable electricity sources or hybrid power sources.
