Hydrogen Fueling Station
In conjunction with our industry partners, BOC Canada & General Hydrogen and the Canadian Transportation Fuel Cell Alliance, we have designed and implemented a 350-Bar hydrogen fueling station. The Pacific Spirit Station (PSS) began operation in spring 2005, and is currently the fuelling station for many of the vehicles in the Vancouver Fuel Cell Vehicle Program.
The fueling station consists of two stages of compression and storage supplied by BOC Canada, plus 450-Bar storage and dispensing supplied by General Hydrogen. System integration was performed by BOC with facilities integration, data management and operation by NRC.
The Pacific Spirit Station is one of the major stations along the Hydrogen Highway™. PSS affords research opportunities for students at our academic partner, the University of British Columbia through their partnership with Western Economic Diversification Canada.
Through our work on the station, we have developed initiatives in hydrogen quality assurance, resolution of product quality and general liability issues, as well as provided a significant industrial outreach component for the regional fuel cell cluster.
