27 new hydrogen stations opened worldwide in 2012
Twenty-seven new hydrogen refuelling stations opened worldwide in 2012, bringing the total number of hydrogen refuelling stations in operation to 208 as of March 2013. This is the result of the fifth annual assessment by H2stations.org, a website of Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik (LBST) and TÜV SÜD. In 2012, eight stations have opened in North America, three in Asia and 16 in Europe, five of which are in Germany. The latter are owned by the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) Project and are located in Hamburg, Berlin and Duesseldorf.
Together with the refuelling station opened in Stuttgart in March 2013, this brings the number of hydrogen refuelling stations in Germany up to 33. Austria’s third hydrogen refuelling station was opened last year, while Turkey opened its first hydrogen refuelling station. In total, 80 hydrogen refuelling stations are currently operating in Europe, 76 in North America, three in South America and 49 in Asia. In addition, many countries are planning to build new stations. One new country is Slovenia, where specific plans for the construction of two hydrogen stations were published in 2012. The website H2stations.org also records planned hydrogen refuelling stations. At present, 104 refuelling stations are listed worldwide (43 in North America, seven in Asia and 54 [...]

Linde Hydrogen Station started operating in Emeryville, California
Linde’s new hydrogen refuelling station has begun operating at AC Transit’s Emeryville, California, fueling 12 fuel cell buses and up to 20 passenger cars a day. AC Transit is the transit bus operator for 13 cities in the East Bay Area, including Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley. The Emeryville hydrogen fueling station, which began operating in 2011, is one of two Linde is supplying to AC Transit. The second, located at the Oakland operating division, is expected to begin operating in 2013. Both stations are part of AC Transit’s HyRoad project. Read the full article here.

Air Products and FuelCell Energy team to develop infrastructure and third generation fuel cells
Air Products, the project coordinator for HyTEC and a producer of hydrogen fuel, has signed a memorandum of understanding with FuelCell Energy, a manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cells. The two companies will begin working together to develop third generation of FuelCell Energy’s Direct FuelCell. These hydrogen energy systems are often used in power plants, providing a reliable source of energy for industrial ventures. The team will also work to bolster the market for stationary fuel cells around the world and will also promote fuel cells for transportation. FuelCell Energy believes that partnering with Air Products will help establish a hydrogen fuel infrastructure around the world. Air Products has extensive experience in the world of chemicals and has been one of the leading producers of hydrogen gas for several years. This experience is likely to translate well into the fuel cell industry. This is not the first time the two have come together to work toward the progress of a common purpose, however. The pair is also working on hydrogen production projects in California. The work of both companies will be welcomed by the auto industry, which has targeted hydrogen as its primary focus for the foreseeable future. By establishing a [...]

The innovation behind HyTEC
In both London and Copenhagen, new hydrogen fuelling networks will be developed. This in itself is an improvement over the state of the art. The innovation of the HyTEC project is that the project will connect existing fuelling stations within a city wide refueling network.

Europe’s Largest Hydrogen Refueling Station Opens in Hamburg
A hydrogen station capable of delivering 750 kilograms of hydrogen per day opened on Friday the 17th of February in Hamburg’s HafenCity development, supplied by power company Vattenfall. It is Europe’s largest and will deliver fuel for twenty fuel cell buses operated by public transport authority Hamburger Hochbahn as well as making hydrogen available for fuel cell cars. The cost of around €10 million was shared by Vattenfall and the German Federal Ministry of Transport. Half the hydrogen is produced on site by electrolysis of water using renewable energy and the other half is delivered. At the inauguration of the station, Pieter Wasmuth, Executive Vice President of Vattenfall, said that hydrogen storage is a key technology in the integration of a growing proportion of electricity from wind power and photovoltaics into the German energy system. The inauguration was attended by Frank Horch, Senator of Commerce of the city of Hamburg, and Rainer Bomba, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development. The station is part of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), in which Vattenfall is involved with other partners in creating hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. It is also part of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen [...]

London’s ‘hydrogen network’ plans unveiled
London is set to create a ‘Hydrogen network’ by 2012, under plans unveiled today (Friday 26 March) to help accelerate the wider use of this zero-polluting, zero-carbon energy in the capital. The London Hydrogen Partnership (LHP) is working with London boroughs and private landowners on plans to deliver at least six refuelling sites to run hydrogen-powered vehicles in the capital over the next two years. One is already being built in east London for the refuelling of hydrogen-fuelled buses that will begin running on the RV1 route later this year. Hydrogen vehicles emit no pollution from their tailpipes and vehicles which use hydrogen from renewable sources have no emissions at all. This could deliver huge benefits for cities in improving air quality, cutting carbon emissions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The action plan published today also aims to encourage a minimum of 150 hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road in London by 2012. These could include cars, vans, taxis, motorbikes, and lorries. Fifty of the vehicles are expected to be operated by the Greater London Authority’s functional bodies – Transport for London (TfL); the London Development Agency (LDA); the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA); and the Metropolitan Police [...]

UK’s opens first open access hydrogen refueling station
If you live in Britain and are debating whether or not you should purchase a hydrogen-powered Honda FCX Clarity, well … your decision may now be a bit easier to make. In order to encourage development of fuel cell vehicles such as the FCX, Honda has just opened the UK’s first open access station for hydrogen-powered vehicles. It’s located on the grounds of Honda of the UK Manufacturing in Swindon, and everyone who needs a little hydrogen in their lives is welcome. The commercial-scale station can fill vehicles at either 350 or 700 bar, which are the two standard pressures used by major vehicle manufacturers. Filling up an FCX is said to take less than five minutes, and due to the fact that the station uses multiple hydrogen cylinders, cars can fill up immediately after one another – at stations with less cylinders, users might have to wait for more hydrogen to be generated. Situated along the M4 motorway, the station is approximately half way between London and Swansea. It is hoped that it will serve as a model for other hydrogen filling stations to be built in the UK, that will provide the infrastructure necessary for the wide use [...]
