The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Plug Power, Inc. for the design, development, fabrication, and field testing of automated hydrogen fueling dispensers. Design, development, fabrication and testing activities would occur at Plug Power’s facility in Latham, NY; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY; and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO. NREL activities include testing robotic manipulation of hydrogen fueling hose and nozzle for fueling of passenger vehicles at NREL’s Hydrogen Infrastructure Testing and Research Facility. Additional testing of an indoor automated dispenser is expected to occur at a to be determined (TBD) customer facility in the United States. This facility would be an existing Plug Power customer facility that already has manual hydrogen dispensing equipment in place.
