Mega hydrogen station designs to be launched in Las Vegas

A series of large scale refuelling station designs will be launched at Hydrogen + Fuel Cells North America, part of the SolarPower International Conference set to take place in Las Vegas in September.

The designs, developed by energy storage and clean fuel company ITM Power, are based around electrolyser configurations of up to 50MW in size with the capability to produce up to 20 tonnes of hydrogen per day, according to the company.

“These new refuelling station designs are being launched in response to a dramatic increase in the number of enquiries for refuelling heavy logistics vehicles at large scale as the viability of hydrogen power continues to gather scale and momentum across a growing number of industrial applications," said Dr. Graham Cooley, CEO, ITM Power.

In line with the drive to reduce fuel emissions, governments around the world are now placing their attention on heavy logistics vehicles, such as road haulage vehicles, ships and trains.

"Air quality and fossil fuel emissions is now a high priority for governments worldwide,” added Cooley.
