South Korea’s Hylium Industries Inc. is launching what it claims is the world's first mobile liquid-hydrogen refueling station for fuel cell powered vehicles.
Mounted on a five-ton truck, the mobile unit includes a liquid hydrogen pump, vaporizer, and dispenser. Hylium says the system is safer and more efficient than stations that store hydrogen as a high-pressure gas.
The mobile refueling station uses a 900-bar (13,000-psi) liquid hydrogen pump. This eliminates the need for a compressor and cooling system, which Hylium says significantly reduces equipment and driving costs.
Hylium was founded in 2014 and is a member of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
