CHARLESTON, WV --- A new hydrogen fuel production and dispensing station opened at Yeager Airport in Charleston on Aug. 17, officials told the Charleston Gazette.

The station is a joint project of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory and Yeager Airport. It's considered a small-scale demonstration project that can accommodate just a few vehicles each day.

In exchange for donating the land for the new fueling station, the airport is getting three hydrogen-powered vehicles from the Department of Energy. The airport has also agreed to buy a hydrogen-powered pickup truck previously used in a demonstration project in Arizona.

Charleston's new hydrogen station will serve as a model for an upcoming facility planned for West Virginia in Morgantown.

"Having these stations in Charleston and Morgantown creates a corridor allowing hydrogen-powered vehicles to travel between the two cities," explained David Haberman, president of the Mountain States Hydrogen Business Council. A third hydrogen fuel station is expected to be built in Pittsburgh, he added, which would extend the corridor into southwest Pennsylvania.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
