Hydrogen Fueling Overview

Hydrogen Fueling Overview

Fuel cell electric cars typically go 300 miles or more on a full tank of hydrogen, with the ability to refuel in 3 to 5 minutes. Hydrogen fueling is no more complicated or time-consuming than filling a standard car with gas. See how fuel cells differ from other electric car types.

Most hydrogen fueling stations are located at existing gas stations, using dispensers that look very similar, but have a different nozzle and hose.

California has more than 60 hydrogen stations, with additional stations in development. While the network is expanding, current stations are primarily focused in core market areas and in strategic locations to enable statewide and vacation travel.

What is a hydrogen station? All about hydrogen refueling

Green hydrogen is one of Repsol's pillars in its commitment "net zero emissions by ". Its renewable hydrogen strategy has been developed in line with the objectives set by both the European Union and Spanish government. In this regard, Repsol has launched several projects to promote renewable hydrogen-based solutions.

  • Renewable hydrogen hub in Meirama:

Repsol has launched a project together with Naturgy and Reganosa to develop a renewable hydrogen production hub in Galicia. This project contemplates the installation of an electrolysis plant powered by 100% renewable energy with an initial power of 30 MW, scalable in different phases up to a total potential of 200 MW. Moreover, it will produce more than 4,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year and will achieve a total production of 30,000 annual tonnes. All these uses will allow the reduction of the area's carbon footprint and to demonstrate the feasibility of mass production of renewable hydrogen and its distribution to the final consumer.

  • Electrolyzers in industrial complexes:

It will also implement electrolyzers in the environment of its industrial complexes. The first will be installed in the Petronor refinery, in Bilbao, and will have a capacity of 2.5 MW. This plant will enter into operation in the first quarter of and will supply both the refinery and some facilities of the Margen Izquierda Technology Park.

  • I+D to promote renewable hydrogen:

A team of researchers from Repsol and Enagás has developed a pioneering technology for the production of renewable hydrogen from the direct use of solar energy, photoelectrocatalysis. This methodology simplifies the conventional process of electrolysis, as the device directly receives the solar radiation and a photoactive material generates the electrical charges that cause the separation of the oxygen and hydrogen particles. The next step will be the construction of a demonstration plant in the industrial complex that Repsol has in Puertollano, with the goal of reaching commercial maturity before .

  • SHYNE project (Spanish Hydrogen Network)

SHYNE is Spain's largest consortium aimed at promoting renewable hydrogen. Comprising 33 companies from different sectors, its aim is to promote renewable hydrogen projects in all areas of the Spanish economy and drive a quick and effective decarbonization in sectors that are difficult to electrify such as steal, aviation, and maritime transportation. In addition, the project aims to bring together the large regional clusters around hydrogen that are already being implemented, such as the Basque Hydrogen Corridor, the Hydrogen Valley of Catalonia, and the Hydrogen Valley of the Region of Murcia. On the other hand, SHYNE will promote the creation of two new innovation hubs in Castilla-La Mancha and Madrid, whose objective will be the development of competitive technologies that are still in the pipeline, such as photoelectrocatalysis or solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC), and that will help the country to maintain technological sovereignty in this new energy vector.
