Document Description
The project aims to design, build, and demonstrate a cost-effective cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) distribution system to deliver zero-emission electricity for California's ratepayers, addressing grid supply constraints and electrification challenges. The project will develop a cryo-compressed hydrogen trailer with higher capacity than traditional trailers and a cryo-cooler that is 50% cheaper than hydrogen liquefaction at similar scales. This system will provide hydrogen-to-power solutions for commercial operations, including battery-electric vehicle charging, bypassing grid limitations and reducing dependency on costly infrastructure upgrades. Key activities include:
• Design and Development: Creating a high-capacity CcH2 trailer, filling station, and cryo-cooling system.
• Procurement and Installation: Assembling the equipment at WestAir's Long Beach facility and ensuring operational reliability through rigorous testing.
• Commercial Demonstration: Operating the system in a real-world environment to validate performance, efficiency, and scalability.
• Knowledge Transfer and Benefits Analysis: Sharing results to promote adoption and assessing the economic, environmental, and technological benefits.
