Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station
NanoSUN’s innovative mobile Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS) offers a low-cost path to delivery of transportation grade fuel to the point of use, where it is directly dispensed into hydrogen powered vehicles - efficiently, safely and fast!
The mobile Pioneer HRS offers local distribution as a fundamental factor in building an effective hydrogen fuel infrastructure and facilitating hydrogen mobility. Providing an on-site refuelling solution to a wide range of applications, from fuelling small fuel cell vehicle fleets to acting as a reliable back-up solution, the Pioneer also offers a much needed, low-cost interim answer to costly fixed Hydrogen Refuelling Stations until the point that sufficient scale is reached, and a fixed HRS is needed.
Centralised hydrogen production at scale is increasingly recognised as a key to reducing costs. The Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station unlocks the full value of this cost benefit by eliminating duplication of costly machinery at the refuelling point.
Based on an industry standard intermodal (ISO) 20ft container, the Pioneer incorporates NanoSUN’s proprietary multi-stage cascade refuelling system. A fully integrated, hydrogen storage, transportation and dispensing solution, the Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station is the answer to mobile and in-field refuelling, with fast deployment directly to any desired location.
Pioneer Low-Cost Hydrogen Value Chain
The Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station enables a hydrogen value chain that offers the perfect path to the lowest total cost for hydrogen fuel.
Production
In a low-cost hydrogen value chain, complex chemical operations all take place at a large hydrogen plant. Operators of these include oil and gas majors, industrial gas producers or new entrants. Eventually all hydrogen fuel will be produced from renewable, green sources.
Preparation
At the large hydrogen plant, Pioneer stations are filled with hydrogen fuel at the correct conditions of pressure and purity.
Distribution
Full Pioneer stations are transported to the point of use; similar to how diesel or gasoline is distributed today.
Consumption
At point of use, users drive their hydrogen powered vehicles up to the Pioneer station, connect the fuelling hose and initiate automated refuelling via a simple push button user interface. The Pioneer will instruct the operator when refuelling is complete and when it is safe to disconnect the fuelling hose.
Replenishment
Once empty, the Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station is replaced with a full unit and returned for refilling. In the future, all transport will be done by hydrogen trucks for zero emissions.
Why the Pioneer?
Low Cost
Capital cost is significantly lower than a fixed Hydrogen Refuelling Station, as no compressor is required at the point of hydrogen delivery.
Mobile
Requires no fixed utilities (power, water etc.) making the Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station an ideal solution for in-field and mobile refuelling. Simple and intuitive design facilitating rapid deployment.
Inherent Reliability
Mobile nature enables units to back each other up, resulting in a more reliable hydrogen refuelling network.
