Linde to install new hydrogen technology at True Zero stations
Linde delivers highly efficient hydrogen fuelling technology to double retail hydrogen capacity in California.
In a move to prepare California for the next generation of fuel cell electric vehicles, Linde is outfitting True Zero’s newest retail hydrogen fuelling stations with its highly efficient Cryo Pump 3.0/90.
The move will help to more than double the capacity of the California hydrogen network. The customer, True Zero, the retail brand of FirstElement Fuel Inc., currently operates 19 fully retail hydrogen stations throughout the state of California, dedicated to serving light duty fuel cell vehicles.
“California is a pioneer in hydrogen mobility – also thanks to the crucial funding granted by the California Energy Commission,” says Werner Ponikwar, Head of Hydrogen Mobility Solutions at Linde.
Linde’s cutting-edge Cryo Pump 3.0/90 will be the core component in True Zero’s newest fuelling stations.
“The technology provides a significant increase of refueling station capacity, and with that we see a path to retailing hydrogen fuel at cost parity with gasoline,” says Joel Ewanick, CEO of True Zero.
With more than 150 hydrogen refuelling stations engineered worldwide and more than 30 years of research and development in hydrogen mobility technology, the Linde Group is a leading player in hydrogen mobility infrastructure.

Just drove my TESLA 3 340 miles for a Thanksgiving trip. Made it home with 10 miles to spare as the TESLA supercharger I wanted to fuel at was all full with a waiting line. Needed to get home so risked getting stuck and barely made it. I refuel at home taking ten hours.
Point is, sufficient hydrogen stations and rapid refueling are an absolute requirement to get hydrogen cars , like the Mirai, the Clarity and the NEXO accepted. The stations need to be there slightly before the car population.
