Bosch opened a new hydrogen production facility this week in suburban Detroit, part of a broader push for clean, reliable energy.

Why it matters: Detroit wants to remain a global center of mobility innovation. Hydrogen is among the technologies that city and state officials want to harness if it starts moving from pilot projects to real-world use.

Driving the news: Bosch opened a new electrolyzer facility on Tuesday at its Farmington Hills campus.

In plain English, the system uses electricity and water to produce hydrogen for testing and engineering work.

The company also highlighted a new cryopump technology aimed at making hydrogen refueling infrastructure cheaper and more efficient.
