How a hydrogen fuel station works
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Written and researched by Jan Triska - correspondent
I have always wanted to see hydrogen fueling stations, up close, in action so to speak. It so happens that there is now one open right across the street from where I work. The new station is part of a growing experimental network of hygrogen fuel insfrastructures, partially funded by Natural Resources Canada.
The new station, at the Natural Resources Canada Booth Street campus in Ottawa, is the fifth permanent hydrogen fuelling station in Ontario and the tenth currently operating in Canada. Natural Resources Canada, through the Canadian Transportation Fuel Cell Alliance, and Air Liquide Canada each contributed $800,000 toward the $1.6-million station.
