📰 ✍️ BALLARD BLOG As one of the early pioneers of waste-to-energy, Wuppertal, Germany, is using local waste to produce green #Hydrogen to power the city's growing #ZeroEmission bus fleet. In Wuppertal's hilly landscape, #FuelCell buses are proving particularly advantageous, delivering better performance, longer range, and more service hours than battery electric alternatives. In this blog, discover more about the green initiatives Wuppertal is engaging in that combine #Sustainability and technological advancement, how critical its zero-emission bus fleet is to #Decarbonized operations, and how leveraging Ballard's FCmove® fuel cell engine to power the buses using hydrogen derived from local municipal waste contributes to the innovative responses to environmental challenges - helping to lead the way in sustainable urban living. https://bit.ly/4buZaD5 #PoweredByBallard

🤝 Ballard has partnered with marine engineering firm, Glosten, electrical integrator, Siemens Energy, and services and equipment supplier, Chart Industries, Inc., on the design and build of the R/V Robert Gordon Sproul - what will be the world’s first hydrogen-hybrid coastal-class research vessel. 💻🗣️ In a recent webinar hosted by H2 EnergyNews.biz, Professor Lennie Klebanoff - a scientist with Sandia National Laboratories who leads work in fuel cell market transformation - referenced the project as a prime example of utilizing hydrogen #FuelCell power for #Marine applications. Watch the clip below for some key facts about the program and to find out how #Hydrogen compares favorably in performance against legacy fuels and alternative power sources. 📰 For more information, follow the link to the full #PoweredByBallard blog: https://bit.ly/4craVf7

0 Emissions, 0 Impact on the environment! 🌿 The future of #ZeroEmissions shipping, #PoweredByBallard's heavy-duty FCwave™ #FuelCell systems. 🚢 Future Proof Shipping's H2 Barge 1 and H2 Barge 2, #Hydrogen fuel cell electric barges use green #hydrogen and are fully #zeroemissions! Both barges have been awarded the A-Zero (A0) emission label - meaning these ships emit ZERO grams of CO²e and ZERO air climate emissions. Congratulations to all our project partners and teams at Ballard Power Systems and Future Proof Shipping! 👏

📰🚌🌿 New Blog | Ballard Power Systems recently marked the 30th anniversary of powering its first #hydrogen #FuelCell electric bus, unveiled in Vancouver, Canada in June 1993. Since then, the company has expanded its fuel cell technology footprint across heavy-duty mobility and reached increasingly diverse market verticals, including trucks, marine, rail, and stationary power generation. As Ballard enters its next commercialization phase, Tim Sasseen, Market Development Director, North America, looks at Ballard's growth trajectory in the region. He speaks about the fast-growing #ZeroEmission environment in the region, the benefits of hydrogen and fuel cell adoption, and what needs to change to achieve successful large-scale fleet implementation across numerous market verticals.

👏🚛🌿 Congratulations to our partners on successfully demonstrating #ZeroEmissions #Hydrogen yard trucks #PoweredByBallard's #FuelCell modules, at the Port of Los Angeles as part of the Zero Emissions for California Ports (ZECAP) pilot project. The #hydrogen trucks were capable of operating on the TraPac yard truck duty cycle for up to two shifts when the hydrogen fuel tanks and batteries were at full capacity to start the day. They also demonstrated efficiency of approximately 2.5 to 3 times that of the conventional diesel powertrains. The ultimate goal is to replace all 1,000 diesel-powered yard trucks operating at the Port of Los Angeles with zero-emission vehicles, significantly improving air quality and reducing noise pollution for people near the busy port.   Watch and learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_mxUySC
