H2 vehicle filling test bench and calibration laboratory

Project description

The project consists of conducting all the necessary preliminary research studies and calculations prior to the construction of a full test bench, including all high-pressure phases in compact form and capable of compressing, storing, cooling and dispensing H2 to light (700 bar) and heavy (350 bar) vehicle tanks.

The aim of the project is to improve efficiency by minimising energy losses, to standardise and to reduce costs to achieve economic stability.

The test bench will be set up in the Abanto Hydrogen Technology Park. In addition to its function as a laboratory for the study of cycle optimisation processes and standardisation of hydrogen refuelling stations, the test bench will also provide customer services.

Impacto medioambiental

The project contributes to maximising the efficiency of the renewable H2 dispensing processes and, in so doing, optimising the overall process, i.e. adapting production to the demand for renewable vehicular hydrogen, minimising the energy losses incurred in the production process, and other technical and economic parameters. By improving the efficiency of the processes related to the H2 value chain, it is hoped that the project will contribute considerably to the reduction of the use of fossil fuels in other areas of industry.
