Coca-Cola hydrogen fuel cell in Charlotte Plant

摘要

According to Coca-Cola Bottling Co. (CCBCC) vice president Lauren Steele, forklifts in the company's Charlotte production center are now being run on hydrogen fuel cells. "Further enhancing its environmental sus-tainability efforts, the company is pioneering hydrogen fuel cell technology for its materials handling equipment... CCBCC is the first in the beverage industry to use hydrogen fuel cell technolo- gy. The fleet of 35 Crown and five Yale counterbalanced class one lift trucks are powered by hydrogen fuel cells from Plug Power and are being refueled at three indoor fueling stations with hydrogen from Linde North America. The hydrogen fuel cell solution has allowed us to achieve the high level of environmental sustainabil-ity that we've been looking for in our operations.
