The Advanced Technology Transit Bus (ATTB), developed under primary funding from the U.S. DOT/Federal Transit Administration (FTA), currently uses a power plant based on a natural gas burning IC engine-generator set. FTA is interested in demonstrating the use of a hydrogen fuel cell-based power plant on the ATTB. This report analyzes several issues related to the proposed demonstration project including hydrogen safety, hydrogen storage options, and total hydrogen requirements.
