Hydrogen technologies are rapidly entering the market across multipleapplications worldwide. Today there are thousands of hydrogen fuel cells systems in service, including forklifts used in warehouses, commercial automobiles on the roads, and stationary or backup power systems providing clean and reliable power. Hydrogen is also increasingly being used to store energy from intermittent renewables such as solar or wind, and used as a feedstock for industrial applications. These latter applications are receiving increased attention as key components of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) H2@Scale initiative.
