The third implementation case that was identified were the hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), designated to trucks, build during the H2Haul project. The station in Fos-sur-Mer (France) of Air Liquide is the first truck HRS with a working pressure of 700 bar. Currently, the mass flow of the station is restricted to mid flow (90 g/s), since hardware and fuelling protocols are missing. Nevertheless, we see that the hydrogen truck technology is making the shift of 350bar to 700bar, so more hydrogen can be stored on the truck and longer driving ranges are attainable.
This first demonstration is ground breaking and the development of it gave insights on missing hardware, fuelling protocols and regulative framework (also for the trucks).
