The Tohoku region in Japan is the next area in the North Pacific rim country to get its first hydrogen (H2) refuelling station, as part of Iwatani’s extensive rollout plan.
The new station, which will be the first for its region, will be constructed in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, and is due to be completed by the end of this year. It will utilise an offsite supply system of liquefied H2 from Iwatani’s production plant situated in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture.
It will have a supply capacity of 300Nm3/h, making it capable of fully filling six vehicles per hour, and will have a filling pressure of 70 megapascal (Mpa).
