???? 據路透社5月27日報道，燃料初創公司Hydra Energy周四表示，該公司已籌集1500萬加元（1240萬美元），用于資助一個氫捕獲項目，并將柴油卡車改裝成氫燃料車。

????最新的融資來自總部位于加州埃默里維爾的Just Business公司，該公司專注于可持續投資，使Hydra的總融資額達到2200萬加元。

????氫在燃燒時產生水，被視為長途卡車運輸、航空業和海運業的潛在替代品，而這些都是化石燃料的主要用戶。氫氣可以從化石燃料中提取，也可以通過電解從水中提取，盡管這是一個昂貴的過程。

????Hydra公司的氫捕獲試驗項目是在不列顛哥倫比亞省的一家化工廠與Chemtrade公司合作進行的。Hydra沒有將廢氫排放到大氣中，而是將這些氣體收集起來供其車隊客戶使用。

????這家總部位于不列顛哥倫比亞省三角洲的公司，其改裝卡車已經在商業路線上進行了道路測試，覆蓋了超過200,000公里（124,275英里）。今年晚些時候，Hydra公司將開始向卡車車隊提供其氫氣改裝套件，并以比其現有柴油成本低5%的固定折扣率提供氫氣。

????Hydra Energy raises $12 mln for hydrogen fueling expansion

????Fuelling startup Hydra Energy said on Thursday it had raised 15 million Canadian dollars ($12.4 million) to fund a hydrogen capture project and for converting diesel trucks to run on hydrogen.

????The latest financing comes from Emeryville, California-based Just Business, which focuses on sustainable investments and brings Hydra's total funding to 22 million Canadian dollars.

????Hydrogen, which produces water when it burns, is seen as a potential alternative for long-haul trucking, the aviation industry, and maritime shipping, all major users of fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be made from fossil fuels or from water using electrolysis, although it is an expensive process.

????Hydra's test hydrogen capture project is in partnership with Chemtrade at a chemical plant in British Columbia. Rather than venting waste hydrogen into the atmosphere, Hydra captures the gas for consumption by its fleet customers.

????The Delta, British Columbia-based company's converted trucks have undergone on-road testing on commercial routes covering over 200,000 kilometers (124,275 miles). Later this year, Hydra will start offering its hydrogen conversion kits to truck fleets and provide hydrogen at a fixed discount rate 5% lower than their existing diesel costs.
