LIFTE H2 Successfully Delivers Hydrogen Refuelling Station for Open Grid Europe
In 2023 LIFTE H2 was awarded to design, install and commission a bespoke hydrogen solution for the KruH2 hydrogen pilot project at Open Grid Europe`s site in Krummhörn, near Emden. The project aimed to establish robust hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for an internal fleet of hydrogen powered vehicles. LIFTE H2 has completed the high-pressure hydrogen dispenser capable of delivering hydrogen at 70 MPa (700 bar), ensuring safe and efficient refuelling for a variety of hydrogen-powered light-duty vehicles.
Key features of the hydrogen refuelling station include:
- Dual Compressor System: A sophisticated system that progressively pressurises the hydrogen, enhancing efficiency and ensuring reliable operation.
- Buffer Storage Tank: Capable of holding up to 300 bar of hydrogen, this tank guarantees a consistent and dependable supply.
- Two Large Storage Tanks: These tanks provide substantial capacity for long-term hydrogen storage for vehicle refuelling, as well as hydrogen supply for future applications such as tests with CHP (combined heat and power) or fuel cell applications.
The hydrogen is produced on-site using a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser powered by renewable energy from nearby wind farms. The site is located in an area with significant grid congestion, meaning the electrolyser can utilise wind power that previously could not be transported away. This process ensures zero carbon emissions during production, reinforcing our commitment to creating sustainable energy systems and a greener future.
