Project description
Turning up the pressure gets results for hydrogen refuelling solutions
Using hydrogen as a fuel has the potential to de-carbonise many sectors that currently rely on hydrocarbons for energy. The transport sector is a particularly promising application, but, in addition to the development of hydrogen-powered vehicles, we must have a hydrogen refuelling infrastructure on a large scale. The compression unit or high-pressure storage unit is the main component of a hydrogen refuelling station. Its function is to increase the energy density or amount of energy in a given volume to make it feasible to keep vehicles mobile over long distances. Storing and supplying fuel for large fleets of buses, trains and trucks is even harder. The EU-funded COSMHYC XL project is developing an innovative scalar and modular compression solution to serve the diverse needs of extra-large hydrogen refuelling stations.
