Solar-powered hydrogen fuel station coming to Michigan
Earlier in the year, the agency had placed an order for a fleet of buses that ran on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The buses were meant to be an answer to the environmental concerns in the state while also cutting operating costs associated with public transit. After seeing buses that ran on hydrogen, however, the agency cancelled its previous order and purchased a fleet of fuel cell buses instead.
Michigan may soon be getting its own hydrogen fuel station, as the state’s Mass Transportation Authority adopts hydrogen as its favored alternative energy.

With hydrogen-powered transportation coming to Michigan, the state will need a fueling station capable of meeting the demands of the vehicles. Unwilling to wait for California’s hydrogen highway to reach the state, officials are building their own.
