Utilizing Hydrogen Fuel Technology for Transportation Fleets

Status:  Active
Project Start Date:  08/11/2025

Summary:

Minnesota Executive Order 19-27 commits MnDOT to reducing fleet fuel consumption 30% by 2030 and emissions 50% by 2030. Additionally, Minnesota State Statute 16C.135 establishes a zero- and low-emission preference for new fleet vehicle purchases. Hydrogen fuel technology offers a potentially promising alternative pathway to reducing emissions from MnDOT’s fleet while continuing to meet operational and business needs. The objective of this research is to survey existing and emerging hydrogen fuel technology applications that could be piloted in the MnDOT fleet as a strategy for cutting emissions, and to identify potential costs and benefits of MnDOT investing in hydrogen fuel technology.
