Hydrexia and HyGear partner on low-cost hydrogen distribution in Europe; solid state storage and delivery

Green Car Congress

The trailer design can deliver up to 900 kg of H 2 —more than three times the capacity of a standard bulk tube trailer used by industrial gas companies today. At the filling station, the trailer is filled with hydrogen at low pressure (up to 10 bar). No external fuel gases are needed for the reform reaction and steam generation.
