FirstElement Fuel will open what it is calling the world’s first heavy-duty high-flow hydrogen fueling facility to the public in May. The station is the first of about a dozen commercial hydrogen truck fueling locations the company has planned.
“This is the first time that there is truly a commercially available hydrogen station,” said Ghassan Sleiman, chief technology officer for FirstElement Fuel.
The station dispenses liquid hydrogen using FEF’s proprietary technology, providing 700 bar — equivalent to more than 10,000 psi — fast fills. “It is distributed to this station as liquid, and we use a cryopump to convert it,” said Shane Stephens, the company’s chief development officer.
