This station is part of a cluster of hydrogen refueling stations opened by Shell in New York, in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the US Department of Energy and General Motors. The cluster of stations, located within approximately 30 miles of each other, is configured to provide New York drivers of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles with greater flexibility and convenience.

Quantum’s hydrogen infrastructure equipment and systems are based on patented, proprietary underlying technology that have been demonstrated in a series of mobile and portable refueling systems for hydrogen vehicles since 2001. The Quantum refueling systems use oil free gas compression technology to deliver hydrogen at high-pressure from a variety of sources, including high pressure cascade systems, industrial hydrogen bottles, bulk tube trailers, and electrolyzer hydrogen generating systems.

Key features of the Quantum hydrogen refueling systems include:

• Temperature-compensated 10,000 psi (700 bar) or 5,000 psi (350 bar) fast-fill options;
• High pressure cascade storage up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar);
• Available gas pre-chiller system to enable faster fills;
• Compression capacity of up to 9.0 kilograms per hour;
• Automated purge procedure for elimination of air and particle contamination; and
• Hydrogen sensors and safety systems including automated continuous monitoring.
