 The widespread global deployment of renewables presents an interesting opportunity for hydrogen infrastructure projects. One of the principal challenges with renewables is matching supply and demand – the wind isn’t necessarily blowing when you need the electricity. Using electrolysis it is possible to store excess electricity as hydrogen for use in a variety of applications including:
- Power Generation (Load Balancing) – Hydrogen can be fed back into a fuel cell to generate electricity when there are insufficient electrons from the renewables.
- Fuel Cell Vehicle Fuelling – Stored hydrogen can be used to provide infrastructure and fuel production for fuel cell vehicle projects
Proton Energy Systems® is a global leader in hydrogen technology that delivers bold, innovative energy solutions. We can provide an effective solution for renewable hydrogen projects and are looking for partners including:
- Government Organisations involved in renewable and hydrogen programs
- Vehicle and infrastructure suppliers to the utility / fleet vehicle and materials handling markets
- Potential end-users and adopters of hydrogen fuel cell / ICE vehicles
- Renewable Energy Suppliers / Utilities
Advantages of On-site Hydrogen Production
- Reduced foot print needed for on-site hydrogen storage
- No need to stock pile hydrogen cylinders
- On-site hydrogen production can be integrated with renewable sources to reduce carbon footprint
- Every kg of hydrogen generated using renewable energy can eliminate 3 kilograms of carbon emissions (The amount contained in 1 US gallon of gasoline)
- Cost effective in large volumes of hydrogen
New Product: FuelGen™ 65
The FuelGen™ 65 hydrogen fuel generator system is the latest offering from Proton Energy Systems for vehicle fueling. The FuelGen 65 system builds directly off the commercial success of the currently fielded HOGEN systems with improvements in efficiency and installed capital cost per kg of hydrogen. Enhanced system controls include an energy conservation mode for both the generator and chiller well suited to the intermittent hydrogen demand of the fueling scenario. The integrated DI water system, hydrogen quality monitoring, internal temperature control, and self contained automatic safety system make the FuelGen a turnkey, completely integrated system for hydrogen fuel generation.
FuelGen electrolyzer systems are modular and can be sized for small home fuelers, as well as fleet and bus applications. They can also operate under diverse duty cycle ranges that are ideal for intermittent renewable electricity sources, and for lower cost off-peak electricity rate structures. Off-peak operation can be set up via on-board programming or timer input. The reliability of Proton’s electrolyzer technology has been demonstrated in more than 1200 commercial installations, located in 57 countries worldwide. These attributes make Proton’s electrolyzer-based fueling systems the preferred choice for a diverse range of fueling needs. |
