On a recent episode of the “Path to Zero” podcast, I spoke with Christine Obiaya, CEO of Heliogen. Her company uses concentrated solar energy, augmented with artificial intelligence, to create heat and energy storage for a variety of applications. I sat fascinated as she explained how her company’s technology combines with other technology to create green hydrogen.
So why was I, a propane guy, talking with a solar expert about green hydrogen?
With Low Carbon Fuel Standards, Clean Heat Standards and similar laws under consideration in most states, renewable fuels have gotten a lot of attention. One of these is renewable propane. Recently, renewable propane was lambasted in a news article published by The Guardian and Heated. But despite the smears in these publications, the facts are quite different.
This year’s NTEA Work Truck Show was nothing short of exhilarating, especially with the Green Truck Summit setting the stage for vital discussions on the future of the transportation industry and the continued advancement of clean transportation solutions.
With roughly 2,000 students out of the 3,500-student population riding buses to and from school, the Hannibal Public School District is working to update its aging fleet of diesel buses with propane-fueled alternatives.
Right now, the district has 10 propane buses – eight from Blue Bird and two from Navistar’s IC Bus – operating on routes, along with an on-site propane autogas station.
