Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has introduced the H2HD REFUEL (Hydrogen Heavy Duty Refueling Equipment and Facilities Utilization Evaluation Laboratory) joint industrial project (JIP) to bolster infrastructure and fueling technologies for hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicles. This initiative will focus on advancing hydrogen refueling station (HRS) technologies to support the adoption of hydrogen fuel in heavy-duty vehicles and aid the mobility industry in achieving its decarbonization and zero-emissions targets. The lack of suitable hydrogen refueling stations for heavy-duty vehicles in the United States underscores the pressing need for improvements in technology and infrastructure. With less than sixty hydrogen refueling stations in the country, and only a handful capable of meeting the specific requirements of heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles, there exists a significant technology gap that must be addressed. Factors such as supply chain issues, mechanical failures, and infrastructure limitations pose challenges that must be overcome through collaborative efforts between industry and government. The H2HD REFUEL JIP will bring together hydrogen vehicle manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and refueling station operators to collaborate on developing reliable and compatible HRS solutions. By evaluating different onboard hydrogen storage methods, such as liquid, H70 gas, or cryo-compression, and assessing refueling station flow components and hydrogen losses, the initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and safety of hydrogen refueling technologies. Through this JIP, SwRI seeks to facilitate the growth of heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles by creating a platform for industry stakeholders to network, share expertise, and gain insights into hydrogen storage systems. By providing access to cutting-edge research, system models, workshops, and meetings, the initiative aims to drive innovation and ensure that the industry can meet the rising demand for heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles in a sustainable and efficient manner.
