Filling vehicles with hydrogen is about to get faster and easier, thanks to technology Linde is bringing to North America – as more and more of the challenges proposd by a future hydrogen economy are gradually crinkled out.
Linde is believed to be the first company capable of meeting a new industry target designed to dramatically reduce the time it takes to fill hydrogen-powered vehicles, with the move likely to aid the growing acceptance of hydrogen as the future fuel of choice.
Industry experts see shortened refuelling time as an essential component to improve consumer acceptance and adoption of hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Mike McGowan, Head of Hydrogen Solutions for Linde North America, commented, “Linde is leading the industry with our proprietary, 700-bar fast-fill technology, first developed for hydrogen refuelling stations in Europe. The technology enables us to completely fill cars in as little as three minutes.$quot;
“Linde is focused on finding ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Expanding our vehicle refuelling capabilities in North America gives customers greater access to our strong hydrogen supply network and world class engineering expertise,” McGowan added.
