Yamaha Motor Corp. gave the first demonstration of a hydrogen-powered golf car at the Yamaha Marine Innovation Center in Kennesaw, Georgia, US, following a meeting of the Georgia Hydrogen Energy Braintrust, an organisation that works with Georgia businesses, public and private partners, energy companies, universities, transportation agencies and others to elevate the state’s leadership position in hydrogen energy.

In early 2024, Yamaha introduced the hydrogen-powered golf car and a hydrogen-powered outboard as means to explore hydrogen as a possible method of achieving carbon neutrality within its product lines. Yamaha’s involvement in the Braintrust underscores the company’s overall strategy to leverage multiple technology solutions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

“Yamaha is exploring many ways to become carbon neutral, and hydrogen is one of the solutions we feel could be viable for very specific products including golf cars and larger marine outboard motors,” said Ben Speciale, President, Yamaha US Marine Business Unit. “We have a significant footprint in Georgia. Working with other businesses and leaders in the state allows us to learn more about the challenges associated with the hydrogen distribution infrastructure. It also gives us the opportunity to work together to find solutions and gain a deeper understanding about how hydrogen could be a carbon-neutral option for multiple industries.”
