New York State has awarded SWITCH Maritime LLC $2 million to develop and demonstrate a 150-passenger vessel that will be New York’s first hydrogen fuel cell-electric ferry to provide zero-emission transportation on New York City waters.
The grant is one of five clean hydrogen projects yesterday awarded a total of $11 million in grants. They were selected through the Advanced Fuels and Thermal Energy Research Program, administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
