The Fuel Cell Technologies Office will present a live webinar titled "Reference Designs for Hydrogen Fueling Stations" on Tuesday, October 13, from 12 to 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The goal of the H2FIRST Reference Station Design Task is to accelerate acceptance of near-term hydrogen infrastructure build-out by exploring the advantages and disadvantages of various station designs. In the first phase of this task, delivered gas or liquid hydrogen station configurations were analyzed and evaluated in terms of cost of hydrogen and capital cost. Best-performing stations were matched to near-term market needs, and for each matching station the team produced piping and instrumentation diagrams, corresponding component-level bills of materials with individual costs, and spatial layouts considering codified setback distances at both existing gasoline stations and greenfield sites. These reference designs will help reduce the cost and speed the deployment of hydrogen stations by providing a common baseline with which to start a design. The designs enable quick assessment of the suitability of a particular site for a hydrogen station, and they drive interchangeability of parts and manufacturing scale by employing uniformly-sized components. This presentation will discuss the process and findings of the work, recommended future research and development topics, and outline planned next steps for the Reference Station Design Task.
