Hydrogenics is pleased to announce the opening of a hydrogen
fueling station and the launch of a new hydrogen bus concept - both with
Hydrogenics technology, on November 29th 2013 in Helmond, The Netherlands.
The new station, part of the AutomotiveCampusNL in Helmond,
is owned by WaterstofNet with support from the European Interreg IV
Flanders-Netherlands program. The hydrogen fueling station, built by Ballast
Nedham, features a Hydrogenics HySTAT™ electrolysis system designed and built
by Hydrogenics Belgium-based On-Site Generation division. The station consists
of a 20 ft containerized water electrolyzer that includes a water treatment
system, gas purification, cooling system and a 350 bar dispenser to supply up
to 65 kg of clean hydrogen fuel per day.
The station will be used to fuel new prototypes of hydrogen buses and a
small fleet of hydrogen powered garbage trucks. Within the next few months the
station will be expanded to include a 700 bar dispenser to make it suitable for
passenger cars.
