(TMS) celebrated the opening of the first hydrogen station in the ER station is a collaborative effort between Toyota, Air Products, Shell, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the Department of Energy (DOE). The plant will supply hydrogen to vehicles in demonstration of the Toyota fuel cell hybrid fleets and other vehicle manufacturers in the area of the cell. , / PRNewswire / – Toyota Motor Sales, Inc. powered directly from hydrogen industrial motive power.
As the owner of a railway station or the operator, Shell is working closely with Air Products, which supplies equipment for construction and maintenance of the station. The station is located next to the sales and marketing University of TMS. As the owner, Toyota leased to Shell for a reasonable price. The pipeline is also provided by Air Products and its plants in the SCAQMD and aid projects funded by DOE.
"The industry has made technological advances, but cooperation is a necessity for hydrogen to reach its commercial potential as a fuel for road transport .." For the first time that Shell has worked closely with manufacturers to develop a demonstration plant, "said general manager of operations for alternative energy Shell.
"This station is a model of a long effort to show how a power line can be a hydrogen filling station for cars and other applications of hydrogen fuel cells," said Vice President of Energy at Air Products. "This site will be a model for learning and expanding the supply line stations as an opportunity .."
In 2010, Toyota has been working with Ballard Power Systems to install a generator hydrogen fuel cells to compensate megawatts peak demand for electricity on campus. Portfolio of hydrogen used in the campus is offset by the purchase of landfill gas renewable bio-products. The fuel cell generator is powered directly by hydrogen pipe tap into the existing TMS property. The proximity of campus pipeline TMS Toyota hydrogen asked to think outside the vehicle to explore other ways of using hydrogen.
fuel cell fleet of Toyota hybrid is connected to millions of miles touring the country in 2002 with significant progress on the road. The first generation of hybrid vehicles, fuel cell (FCHV) estimates range was 130 miles. Toyota FCHV-adv current national demonstration program is more than 100 demonstration vehicles with the parties for the year 2013, offering one of the largest fleets of fuel cell vehicles operating in the country. The main objective of the demonstration program is to stimulate the development of infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles for the first time in 2015. In 2009, the latest generation of vehicles, hybrid fuel cell – Advanced (FCHV-adv), has created an estimated range of 431 miles on one tank of hydrogen. In addition to fuel cells and improving efficiency in the interval, the duration and low temperature performance are much improved with a significant reduction in production costs and materials. the successful development of the infrastructure requires collaborative efforts among producers, governments and businesses, similar to partnerships to open a Shell hydrogen station demonstration Torrance.
