Hydrogen Refueling Stations outside Japan

Abstract

Several hydrogen refueling stations in the United States and in Germany are reviewed. Recent hydrogen stations tend to refuel hydrogen at the pressure as high as 70MPa and at the temperature as low as -40.degrees centigrade. in order to meet the requirement by the latest fuel cell vehicles. Although the most of the hydrogen stations are in the stage of technical demonstration, discussion about an early market introduction of hydrogen infrastructure are also begun to be investigated.
