<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 />

Refuelling time Peak performance: 90gH2/second – 350bar only<br />

Location and footprint<br />

Safety distances<br />

Distance from bus depot 2.5km<br />

Discussion:<br />

Expected refuelling time: ~ 9 minutes / bus (40kg <strong>of</strong> onboard<br />

hydrogen capacity) for two buses in sequence<br />

Location: Industrial / chemical area.<br />

Footprint: 200 m 2<br />

Large fire walls used to minimise hazardous zones –<br />

30cm thick concrete walls, 3.6m high required.<br />

The refuelling station will start its activity with 100kgH2/day capacity and 350bar<br />

refuelling, being sized for refuelling two buses. The refuelling station can be easily<br />

upgraded to higher dispensing capacities (up to 300kgH2/day if required) as it is<br />

designed to accommodate extra on-site storage capacity. In addition, <strong>the</strong> existing<br />

compressor and IT management system can manage up to 6 dispenser units at ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

350bar or 700bar - this latter option could be used to accommodate car refuelling in <strong>the</strong><br />

same infrastructure.<br />
