LODI, N.J. (AP) - The northern New Jersey borough of Lodi is poised to become home to potentially the first hydrogen fueling station erected in the state.

The Record reports (https://bit.ly/2j2Ov99 ) Air Liquide USA recently filed an application with Lodi’s Zoning Board of Adjustment to install a hydrogen gas fueling dispenser and storage facility at an existing Shell location in the borough.

Hydrogen-powered cars are electric. They utilize a fuel cell that generates power by combining pressurized hydrogen with oxygen from the air.



Toyota has partnered with France-based Air Liquide to develop hydrogen fueling stations along the East Coast to coincide with the introduction of the auto manufacturer’s new hydrogen-powered car, the Mirai.

Hydrogen fueling stations look very similar to a gas station, with motorists pulling up to pumps and filling up.
