HyBoost-2 »More hydrogen fueling for less«

The HyBoost-2 project is to develop and test a full scale prototype of the patented hydrogen fueling technology that was developed in the HyBoost-1 project supported by EUDP.

At full scale the new technology has the potential to triple the fueling capacity on the same system scope as the present technology. Besides reducing the investment costs for hydrogen fueling stations, it will also enable integration of hydrogen next to conventional fuels at existing gas stations.

The capacity increase will enable hydrogen fueling stations to achieve a capacity per fueling hose similar to gasoline. As the capacity is to be achieved on the same system scope as today, the total area required for the hydrogen fueling station is reduced, making it easier to integrate at gas stations.

HyBoost-2 is to develop and test a prototype of the new technology at full scale. The prototype is to be integrated in a hydrogen fueling station to verify the increased capacity and reduced area need. Also efforts are to be done on ensuring high capacity when hydrogen fueling stations are connected to electrolyser plants, normally delivering a lower supply pressure compared to trucked-in delivery of hydrogen.

Aim of the project is a following commercialization where the hydrogen fueling technology is brought to use in the global and growing market for hydrogen fueling stations. The project partners together holds advanced competences within hydrogen materials and surface treatments and manufacturing of precise components, which are required for both developing and commercializing the hydrogen fueling technology.
