New Mexico Site Has Army’s First Hydrogen-Powered Nanogrid

The Army Engineer Research and Development Center recently revealed the use of the new hydrogen-powered nanogrid at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, according to an Army article. The new system will provide quiet, renewable energy without needing to be connected to a main grid, all crucial features for the missile range’s remote location. This generator is the first of its kind for the Army, which plans to introduce another hydrogen nanogrid at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri early this year.
