Hyundai Testing Novel Hydrogen Production as Part of Green Push

Hyundai Motor Co.’s plant in Georgia has been running its internal logistics operations using hydrogen and the South Korean automaker has been testing domestic production of the fuel using biogas from food scraps as part of its push to build a sustainable energy future around the gas.

The company’s so-called Metaplant facility in the US state, which makes electric vehicles and batteries, is using hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, whose energy density “has the ability to have less range anxiety because you can go a greater distance,” Jim Park, Hyundai’s head of commercial vehicles and hydrogen business development for North America, said.
