Connecticut's stake in the hydrogen fuel-cell industry will be showcased Friday as two separate events will feature the state's commitment to the renewable energy. At 10 a.m, in Wallingford, Proton Energy Systems and sister company SunHydro will break ground on the first fueling station in its Hydrogen Highway, a stretch of locales from Maine to Miami where fuel-cell cars can refuel with hydrogen. At 10 a.m, in Hartford, CT Transit will unveil four new fuel-cell powered buses from South Windsor-based UTC Power. The addition of four 40-foot transit buses gives Hartford the biggest hydrogen bus fleet outside of San Francisco. The CT Transit event is open to the public; the Hydrogen Highway groundbreaking is by invitation only.
