Concurrent Operation of Hydrogen Stations with Different Types of Fuel and Different Methods - The First Demonstration Study in the World
As a major activity of JHFC project, 14 hydrogen stations were constructed and have been operated in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Chubu, Kansai and Kyushu region.Hydrogen is produced by reforming*1 a wide variety of fossil fuels such as desulfurized gasoline, naphtha, methanol and natural gas, or by water electrolysis or purification of COG*2. These hydrogen infrastructures have been evaluated in the real world through refueling of hydrogen to FCVs and ICVs.
*1 Reforming:Process to convert a fuel into hydrogen
*2 COG:By-product hydrogen produced in the process of converting coal into coke for iron making:Coke Oven Gas
