Sunita Satyapal: We're really excited about the station opening.
Car companies have been asking for hydrogen stations for several years now so they could
bring vehicles to the D.C. area.
This is a great opportunity for collaboration between two key agencies and for the first
time ever we have commercial fuel cell vehicles at federal agencies. And we're basically demonstrating
next generation technology for the hydrogen infrastructure piece.
We've been funding technology advancements through our R&D effort such as catalyst improvements,
efficiency improvements, systems integration and so this was a perfect example of where
we could demonstrate a technology showcase station, demonstrating cutting edge technology
from the laboratory, in real world conditions and at the same time have vehicles in the
D.C. area at the agencies showcasing the vehicles to the public.
Reuben Sarkar: Hydrogen fuel cells has the ability to be
deeply decarbonizing and when you can make hydrogen fuel from water it just goes towards
our goal of moving further and further down toward lower carbon fuel.
