#10 DoE and DoD will support hydrogen-based rescue vehicle named H2Rescue

In Washington D.C., a collaboration between the DoE and DoD will support an opportunity to address disaster mitigation through the use of a fuel-cell/battery hybrid truck known as H2Rescue. The truck will aid first responders and military personnel get through disaster mitigation sites. It is said to be capable of providing sufficient hydrogen to provide power, heat, and even potable water for up to 72 hours. This demonstration will help identify hydrogen, fuel-cell, and battery R&D gaps, as well as ensure the technology needs and provides additional value to the emergency management field.
