BOC Swindon Hydrogen Station

First launched in 2011

Located at Honda UK Manufacturing Swindon

First commercial scale 350 / 700 bar HRS

Upgraded under Innovate UK project: SWISH2

3

BOC Swindon – SWISH2

First commercial scale on site production station delivering green hydrogen from onsite solar power @ ~60kg H2/day

Fleet of seven diesel / hydrogen hybrid vans deployed

Demonstration of FCEV fork lift truck & indoor H2 dispenser

Hydrogen fuel cell powered education centre

4

BOC Swindon HRS - Future

Following OLEV 2015 Grant - the station is now truly publicly accessible

Will be the first UK H2 station with Pay@Pump accepting bank or credit cards.

The station clearly demonstrates potential for on site production of green hydrogen

Station continues to fuel FLTs, H2 Education Centre, Ulemco vans and FCEV cars

BOC Aberdeen H2 Bus Project

The research leading to these results has received funding from the

European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) for the Fuel

Cells and Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative under grant agreement n°303467

BOC Aberdeen H2 Bus Project

Fueling Europe’s largest fleet of H2 FCEV buses

UK’s largest onsite production station

On site production capacity of up to 360 kg H2/day

Utilising Linde IC-90 ionic compressors

Station designed, built and installed by BOC / Linde

Built in redundancy key to design

Station opened March 2015

Renewable electricity from Green Tarrif

BOC Aberdeen H2 Bus Project – Ionic Compressor

Ionic compression developed and patented by Linde

Ionic fluid is the lubricant and coolant

No contamination of hydrogen or degradation of purity

Ionic fluid unreactive

Five stage compression

High energy efficiency

High reliability

Low maintenance

BOC Aberdeen H2 Bus Project – Upgrade

Under H2ME and with additional support from Transport Scotland / Aberdeen City Council, the hydrogen station delivered as part of the Aberdeen Bus Project will be upgraded to give 350/700 bar car and van refuelling.

• Aberdeen will be the first city in the UK (outside of London) to have two refuelling stations.

• The station will be open to the public and have pay@pump hydrogen. • It will support Aberdeen’s every expanding fleet of H2 vehicles.
