據氫能源新聞5月15日消息稱，清潔能源公司已經成為PowerTap氫燃料公司的唯一股東，這使得擴大其氫燃料網絡成為可能。

　　為了實現這一目標，清潔能源公司搶占了PowerTap剩余的份額。PowerTap的主要目的是利用其獲得專利的氫氣生產技術，在美國各地建立一個藍色的氫氣加注網絡。目標是能夠適應氫氣動力汽車銷售帶來的需求快速增長。這將使PowerTap有可能通過其知識產權建立一個廣泛而經濟的氫燃料基礎設施，這意味著保持過程的清潔，以及其產品設計模塊化和氫的生產成本最低。

　　這種基于技術的氫氣加氣站已經在加州、馬里蘭州、馬薩諸塞州和德克薩斯州的一些公共加油站和私營企業中得到了應用。

　　清潔能源公司于2020年首次投資于PowerTap。當時，它收購了該公司90％的股權。從那時起，PowerTap一直在進一步發展其氫氣加氣站網絡。它已經分階段完成，包括工程和設計，正在進行的PowerTap 3.0開發，以及許可證和場地準備。

　　Clean Power grows its hydrogen refueling network with PowerTap acquisition

　　Clean Power has become the sole PowerTap Hydrogen Fuelling Corporation shareholder, making it possible to expand its hydrogen refueling network.

　　Clean Power snatched up the remaining shares of PowerTap in order to accomplish this goal. The primary purpose at PowerTap is to use its patented H2 production technology for building a blue hydrogen refueling network of stations across the United States. The goal is to be able to accommodate a rapid growth in demand due to H2-powered vehicle sales. This would make it possible for PowerTap to establish an extensive and yet cost-effective H2 fuelling infrastructure by way of its intellectual property, which is meant to keep the process clean, as well as its product design for modularized and lowest production cost tier for hydrogen.

　　The tech based H2 refueling stations are already in use at some public stations and private enterprises in four states: California, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Texas.

　　Clean Power first invested in PowerTap in 2020. At that time, it acquired 90 percent of the firm’s equity interest. Since that time, PowerTap has been further developing its network of hydrogen refueling stations. It has done so in stages that consist of engineering and design, ongoing PowerTap 3.0 development as well as permits and site prep.
