WVa dedicates hydrogen production plant
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Yeager Airport near Charleston is the home of a hydrogen fuel production plant that is expected to serve the needs of airport and state National Guard vehicles.
State and federal officials were to dedicate the facility at the mountaintop airport during a ceremony Monday afternoon.
The Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory provided $2.6 million on the experimental plant. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of using hydrogen fuel instead of petroleum.
When announcing the project earlier this year, the agency said it would test and evaluate the plant for two years.
