Honda has developed a package type Smart Hydrogen Station (SHS) using a unique high pressure water electrolysis technology. This system contains major components in a 10ft. size enclosure in order to save its footprint and install easily. The performance of SHS was improved by reducing excess water by optimizing purity level of deionized water. Durability of the system was also improved by changing the method of high pressure water draining. The area where SHS can install was expanded to semi-cold area by equipped a heater for ventilation and hot tube for water circulation. SHS has been installed at 17 locations in Japan and refueling regional FCVs. Also, experimental 70MPa SHS was installed in Tokyo as a Ministry of Environment subsidized project. This project aimed to validate reducing CO2 by generating hydrogen from electricity generated by renewable energy.
