Transcript of Hydrogen Station Design from CaFCP
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles:Beginning the Commercial Launch
Bill Elrick
Technical Program Director
Why hydrogen?
• Excellent energy carrier• Nonpolluting• Reduced GHGs• Economically competitive• As safe as gasoline • Every region can make its own fuel
Where do we get H2?
Traditional sources
Natural gas, methane, gasoline, nuclear, coal
Renewable sources
Solar, wind, geothermal,
hydro, biomass, algae
The cars are coming
5
Other fuel cell applications
• Transit» Already meet or exceed US DOE
performance and reliability goals» Next focus on cost reduction and full
replacement of conventional fleet
• Medium- and heavy-duty» US DOE development of new FC platforms» Seeking volunteer fleets for demonstrations
• Material handling and lift trucks» Capabilities and cost effectiveness has led to private
company transition without co-funding (Sysco, FedEx, Whole Foods, BMW, etc)
6
California hydrogen infrastructure goals
• 68 stations –minimum to start the market (CaFCP Roadmap)» Clusters – 45 stations
• Santa Monica and West LA• Torrance and Nearby Coastal Cities• Coastal / Southern Orange County• South San Francisco Bay Area • Berkeley
» Connectors » Destinations
• 100 stations –facilitate market growth (AB8)» Expansion of cluster, connector & destination station
communities » Develop new communities
} 23 stations
7
Hydrogen stations are:
• Public stations» Dispensers & storage equip added to existing gas
stations» Purpose-built stations (only for H2)
• Private stations for fueling company vehicles» Transit buses» Forklifts
On-site production Tanker delivery
8
Retail hydrogen stations
Harbor City• Retail fueling location• Gaseous H2 delivery• ~1200-1500 sq ft
footprint
Newport Beach• Retail fueling location• Onsite production (SMR)• Two dispensers on an
island under the canopy
9
Co-located hydrogen stations
Emeryville – transit & public fueling• Buses fueled inside fenced yard
» Hydrogen delivered as liquid• Cars access fuel from street
» Hydrogen produced using solar power
Renewable hydrogen stations
Fountain Valley • H2 from wastewater• 100kg/day of H2 for
vehicles• Produces 11% of the
facility’s electricity and provides heat for wastewater treatment
11
Hydrogen station equipment
Gaseous
Liquid Pipeline
SMRElectrolysis
• Compressor• Buffer storage
• Booster compression
(opt)• Chiller
• Dispenser
• Gaseous compressed
storage
• Liquid storage
• Vaporizer
• H2 supply • Scrubber
• NG supply• SMR unit• PSA
• Electrical supply
• H20 purifier• Electrolyzer
• Smaller footprint
• Flexible placement• Least
storage capacity
• Greater storage capacity
• Larger footprint• Fuel boil off
potential
• Larger capacity
• Larger footprint
• More equip.
• On site production
• Larger capacity• More expensive
• On site production• Carbon credits• Larger footprint• More expensive
12
Station zoning, codes, & permitting• Primary permitting guidelines established:
» California Fire Code» NFPA 55 – Gaseous & Liquid Hydrogen Storage» NFPA 52 – Vehicle Fuel Dispensing
• NFPA 2 – Hydrogen Technologies Code» H2 safety» Installation & operation of H2 fueling stations» Associated hydrogen storage and repair facilities
• Typically, adding H2 fueling to existing station is “by right” process w/no zoning changes
13
Workshops, training and resources• California Fuel Cell Partnership
» Fire and Safety Resources, Permitting Workshops
• US Dept of Energy and NREL» Intro to H2 for Code Officials, H2 Station Development &
Setbacks, Codes & Standards for CA H2 Dispensing, National C&S Template
• State of California » ZEV Action Plan,
ZEV Community Guidebook
• Clean Cities Fuel Retailers Toolkit
14
Projected hydrogen station costs• Argonne Ntl Lab
• 25 unit serial production, 200 kg/day capacity
• Based upon station builder feedback and predictions
• Release in 2014
15
Station funding
• California» Stations co-funded by CEC - up to 70% of capital
costs and 3 years O&M in recent solicitation» AB8 secures $20M/yr for up to 100 stations» SCAQMD funds for upgrading existing stations» Clean Vehicle Rebate Program
• Federal» 10% federal credit for alternative fueling
properties» EV tax credit» Clean vehicle fleet rebates
• Many, many more…
16
In summary
• Vehicles ready to launch
• Basic safety codes and standards established
• Many applications to consider» Passenger cars, M/HD, transit, forklift, stationary, etc
• Retail focused infrastructure» Consider leveraging these public access locations first
• Resources and materials exist» CaFCP
» California (Gov’s office, ARB, CEC) and other states
» DOE, National Labs and H2USA
» ACT EXPO
FCEVs – the next step in the evolution of electric drive!
