What is a hydrogen refueling station?

  As the global demand for clean energy continues to increase, hydrogen fuel, as an efficient and environmentally friendly form of energy, has received more and more attention. As a key infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) to replenish energy, the role of hydrogen fueling stations cannot be ignored. So, what is a hydrogen fueling station? This article will answer this question in detail and introduce CIMC Enric's leading position in this field.

Definition of hydrogen fueling station

Hydrogen refueling station, in English, is a facility dedicated to refueling hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Unlike traditional gas stations, hydrogen refueling stations provide compressed hydrogen for the vehicle's fuel cell system. This refueling process is similar to the traditional refueling process, but the technical content and safety requirements are higher.

Components of hydrogen refueling stations

A complete hydrogen refueling station usually consists of the following main parts:

Hydrogen production system: Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water, natural gas reforming, etc.

Hydrogen storage system: The produced hydrogen is stored, usually in high-pressure gaseous or liquid form.

Compression system: compresses hydrogen to high pressure, usually 350 bar or 700 bar, for quick refueling.

Refueling equipment: includes a refueling machine and a refueling gun, which are used to inject compressed hydrogen into the vehicle's hydrogen storage tank.

Advantages of hydrogen refueling stations

Hydrogen refueling stations have the following significant advantages:

Environmentally friendly and efficient: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles only emit water during driving, without pollutant emissions, which helps reduce urban air pollution.

Fast refueling: Compared with rechargeable electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have a shorter refueling time, usually within 3-5 minutes.

Long cruising range: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles usually have a long cruising range of more than 500 kilometers, suitable for long-distance driving.
