Ener1 to Supply Fuel Cell Power Source for FL Rest Area
Ener1 recently announced it has received a $550,000 grant from the Florida Hydrogen Initiative to develop a renewable energy source that will power a rest area on an interstate highway in Florida.
According to Ener1, the project, known as the HyTech Rest Area, will employ the company’s 10-kilowatt (kW) fuel cell-based energy source and is expected to be completed within the next 18 months.
“This landmark project allows us to publicly demonstrate how our renewable energy technology translates directly into applications that can have an immediate impact on the environment and the energy needs facing Florida and other parts of the world,” said Ener1 CEO Kevin Fitzgerald. “This is just a single application, but one that can be duplicated wherever the need exists.”
