<strong>Hydrogen</strong> <strong>Fuel</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Bus</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Art Review<br />
Annex B: <strong>Hydrogen</strong> refuelling stations for bus applications –<br />
four case studies<br />
The hydrogen refuelling station in Hürth, Cologne<br />
Location: Hürth / Cologne / Germany<br />
Timeline: In service mid-2010<br />
Project Summary: One small refuelling station (dispensing capacity <strong>of</strong> 100kgH2/day)<br />
based on trucked-in gaseous hydrogen for <strong>the</strong> refuelling <strong>of</strong> two 18m articulated hybrid<br />
fuel cell buses<br />
Project Manager: HyCologne ( www.hycologne.de )<br />
Project Partners: Air Products, City <strong>of</strong> Hürth, German Federal <strong>State</strong>, region <strong>of</strong> North<br />
Rhine-Westphalia, Praxair<br />
Refuelling Station Specifications:<br />
Refuelling station capital<br />
cost<br />
~ € 1.3 millions (overhead costs included)<br />
Capacity 100 kgH2/day (upgradable to 300 kgH2/day)<br />
<strong>Hydrogen</strong> purchase price<br />
(note that this excludes<br />
<strong>the</strong> capital and<br />
operational cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
fuelling station)<br />
<strong>Hydrogen</strong> source<br />
Approx. € 1.6/kg) if delivered through pipeline; approx.<br />
€5.5/kg if delivered through tube-trailer.<br />
By-product from <strong>the</strong> local chemical industry (from<br />
chloride electrolysis). The hydrogen is trucked-in in<br />
gaseous phase at 200bar.<br />
Refuelling concept 350bar cascade refuelling – no precooling<br />
On-site storage design The on-site storage system uses two storage pressures,<br />
150bar and 400bar, and one compressor (GreenField,<br />
20kgH2/hour <strong>of</strong> peak capacity, air cooled). The compressor<br />
is designed to operate from hydrogen pressures as low as<br />
8bar.<br />
