Archives: Hydrogen Fueling Stations

Hydrogen fueling stations have not been standardized yet though there is a push to do so in order that hydrogen cars may start to rollout commercially within the next 5 years. On the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) website there are a couple of pages outlining what the current hydrogen fueling stations look like and • Read More »

Large industrial specialty gas company Linde has announced that they will be opening two new fast filling hydrogen stations in the San Francisco area (Emeryville and Oakland) to accommodate AC Transit fuel cell buses. Linde is using new ionic compressor technology in their stations that require less maintenance and less electricity to operate than previous • Read More »

Back in September 2009 I had talked about how 8 major companies had signed onto the H2 Mobility program that will involves erecting hundreds of hydrogen fueling stations throughout Germany by the year 2015. The H2 Mobility plan has now taken another step into the future. Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) members Statoil, Linde, and TOTAL • Read More »

When I had spoken with a couple of representatives from ITM Power a couple of weeks ago about revisiting the “green box” hydrogen home refueler and the possibility of using the same or similar refueling for the forklift market they were non-committal. This is because they had something up their sleeves and weren’t ready to • Read More »

Yesterday, I talked about an alternative hydrogen refueling infrastructure for cars and today I would like to talk about a “standard” hydrogen refueling infrastructure for long-haul trucks. A couple of weeks ago I went to the NHA Conference and took a look at the Vision Tyrano hydrogen fuel cell hybrid class-8 truck firsthand. The idea • Read More »

When building out the hydrogen highway system in California, New York, Washington DC, Florida or other places the conventional wisdom has to been either build an entire station from the ground up or add a hydrogen fueling pump to an existing gas station. In April 2008, I quoted Larry Burns of General Motors stating, “A • Read More »

Greg Blencoe, the CEO of Hydrogen Discoveries, Incorporated of Oak Ridge, Tennessee is advocating for a Southern California based Hydrogen Fueling Station Cooperative system to be built by 2015 when the major automakers say they will start rolling out large numbers of production hydrogen cars. Mr. Blencoe has in the past proposed a Hydrogen Manhattan • Read More »

After months of silence, ITM Power is starting to release some details about its HFuel hydrogen refueling unit. The HFuel system can be used for hydrogen refueling in a commercial setting. The hydrogen fuel produced from the ITM Power HFuel system meets the purity requirements for running it through a car’s fuel cell. At a • Read More »

Last week I talked about the price of converting fossil fueled vehicles into H2ICE cars. So, this week I thought I would follow up and talk about the price at the pump of hydrogen fuel to consumers. Right now, consumers can convert their own cars, trucks and other vehicles to run on hydrogen. Or they • Read More »
