CORNELIUS, N.C. — Cyclum Renewables, which builds renewable fuel truck stops with traditional and transitional fuels, is working to reshape the future of electric vehicle (EV) charging for the trucking industry and light duty vehicles.
Their approach eliminates dependence on local electric grid or solar fields, utilizing on-site green electricity generation methods that are lower cost to the consumers while being carbon negative versus just carbon neutral, according to a news release.
Cyclum leverages a range of government grants and tax credits, including Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) and Production Tax Credits (PTCs). Cyclum officials say these incentives significantly support the development of the on-site electric vehicle charging infrastructure and clean electricity generation, as well as the ability to generate hydrogen onsite for less costs.
Cyclum’s team will be at the Novogradac 2024 Renewable Energy Tax Credit Conference May 16-17 in Rancho Bernardo, California.
“Cyclum’s on-site power generation with RNG-fueled microturbines is a revolution in EV charging for the trucking industry,” said Shaun Lee, director of field operations at Cyclum Renewables. “This innovative approach offers fleets a cost-effective, sustainable and reliable solution to meet their charging needs, ultimately contributing to a cleaner transportation future.”
Cyclum’s presence in the industry expands beyond its truck stops.
The “Drive the Cyclum Dream” program offers OEMs, fleets, drivers, trucking and supply chain professionals to experience the future of renewable trucking firsthand.
