FAQ

How do I get my hydrogen?
There are a few public hydrogen refuelling stations. For bigger projects gas suppliers are willing to provide a (temporary) refuelling station. Also onsite production is possible, best from renewables.

What pressure will be used for hydrogen storage?
For automotive use 350 or 700 bar is used, which is no problem with the modern storage systems.

What does hydrogen cost?
The refuelling price of hydrogen is 8-12 euro/kg, at a refuelling station. With one kilogram of hydrogen you can drive approximately 100 km!

How dangerous is hydrogen?
Hydrogen is less dangerous than LPG, it diffuses fast in the surrounding and is lighter than air, so it escapes in the atmosphere. LPG will form a blanket on the ground as it is heavier than air.

How big will be the range of a converted fuel cell vehicle?
Range is dependent on the size of the hydrogen storage and the hydrogen usage of the vehicle. For passenger cars approximately 1 kg/100km

What is the lifetime of a fuel cell system?
Systems will live up to 20.000 hours, this is in practice 10 years for a bus.

What does a fuel cell system cost?
Fuel cells are at the beginning of their evolution and will need an investment bigger than conventional energy systems. But TCO (total cost of ownership) can be interesting, because of the low maintenance requirements of fuel cell systems and the big environmental and image profit.

Can every vehicle be converted to fuel cell?
Yes, first step is to make the vehicle electric drive. Depending of place for fuel cell and hydrogen storage it can be converted to hydrogen fuel cell driven.

How big is a fuel cell system?
Depending of fuel cell make and power. From 50 to 500 litre 

How big are hydrogen storage tanks?
A storage tank for 5 kg Hydrogen at 350 bar is cylindrical and has a volume of 200 litre
