Hydrogen Is How and Hydrogen Is Now
Tech Speak Podcast: Minisode 11. H2@Rescue is a first-of-its-kind hydrogen fuel cell/battery hybrid vehicle and it’s an emergency truck like no other—a zero emission, self-propelled electric generator that may just be the future of disaster response. This project is a collaboration between S&T, the U.S. Department of Energy, Federal Emergency Management Agency, industry partner Accelera by Cummins Inc., and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. S&T Under Secretary Dr. Dimitri Kusnezov, DOE Deputy Secretary David Turk, and others joined the scientists behind the innovation in Washington, DC to showcase H2@Rescue—and we were there to get up close and personal with this impressive prototype.
