Hydrogen's promising future as an energy carrier continues to gain more acceptance. Its versatility for use in fuel cells and internal combustion engines makes it one of the most viable sustainable energy alternatives available. Hydrogen professionals, supporting the continued progression of hydrogen acceptance, require the most up to date information and data on which to build a hydrogen economy and communicate with others in the adoption curve. Experienced based information, such as those gathered by Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC), will help further the understanding of hydrogen transportation applications and provide real world, baseline data to further hydrogen development. Based on extensive surveys, interviews and data gathering, from hydrogen fueling station installations, EPC has gained valuable knowledge regarding hydrogen, compression efficiency, performance, storage, and capital investment. This study presents the information associated with hydrogen compression from a small available sample of the 60 U.S. hydrogen refueling stations surveyed. |
