Hydrogen Refueling Using Cryogenic Pump: Cryomotive and Fives
Select Page

Cryomotive and Fives collaborate for cryogenic pump, to be used at hydrogen refueling stations, especially for long-haul trucks.

Here’s an article from Hydrogen Central that talks about the cryogenic pump unveiled by Cryomotive and Fives.

According to the article,

  • Cryomotive, a German CleanTech hydrogen mobility startup, partners with French industrial group Fives to develop a cutting-edge cryogenic pump for hydrogen truck refueling stations.
  • The partnership aims to create the Cryomec Hy-Filling, a cryogenic pump that generates CRYOGAS (cryo-compressed hydrogen gas) for long-haul trucks and other heavy-duty transport applications.
  • CRYOGAS is a high-density cryogenic compressed hydrogen gas that offers a higher physical density than liquid hydrogen and is thermally robust.

Recent innovations in hydrogen refueling technology have emerged to enhance the efficiency, safety, and accessibility of hydrogen as a fuel source. Here are some notable advancements:

1. Solid-State Hydrogen Storage

Solid-state hydrogen storage systems have gained attention for their higher energy densities and safety compared to traditional compressed or liquid hydrogen storage. These systems utilize materials that can absorb hydrogen at low pressures and release it when needed, improving the overall safety and efficiency of hydrogen storage and transport.

2. Mobile and Compact Hydrogen Refueling Stations

Companies like Atawey are designing compact and mobile hydrogen refueling stations that can be deployed in various locations. These stations are scalable and can refuel different types of vehicles, including trucks and buses. The flexibility of mobile stations supports the growing demand for hydrogen refueling infrastructure, particularly in areas where permanent stations may not be feasible.

3. HyBoost-2 Project

The HyBoost-2 project aims to develop hydrogen refueling technology with increased capacity and a reduced physical footprint. This innovation allows for the integration of hydrogen refueling alongside conventional fuels at existing gas stations. By tripling the fueling capacity without expanding the station’s footprint, this technology can accelerate the deployment of hydrogen fueling infrastructure and support the market introduction of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
