 Air Liquide has completed the installation of a fueling system for Shell Hydrogen in the Bronx, New York. In addition to the fueling equipment, Air Liquide is also supplying the hydrogen gas and liquid nitrogen required for operations. The station will provide fueling capability in support of General Motors’ Project Driveway vehicles and serve as another site in the network being developed in New York in anticipation of other auto manufacturers introducing fuel cell vehicles to the area. Air Liquide’s technology is also used at a station in Ardsley, N.Y. Air Liquide has also provided fueling systems in California and Delaware, and in many countries around the world. Air Liquide’s hydrogen fueling systems are built in the U.S. with proprietary engineering designs from Air Liquide Advanced Technologies U.S. LLC. The technology is capable of filling a car at 700 bar (10,000 p.s.i.) pressure in less than five minutes. “Air Liquide’s innovative hydrogen technologies are powering vehicles and equipment while protecting the environment," says Michael J. Graff, a member of Air Liquide’s executive committee and president and CEO of American Air Liquide Holdings, Inc. “With more than 40 years of experience in hydrogen and numerous related patents, Air Liquide is helping to build the hydrogen energy infrastructure, to demonstrate its benefits to society and prepare for future markets.” Hydrogen, an energy vector Hydrogen energy demonstration projects Over the last four years, Air Liquide has designed, built and commissioned more than 40 stations which are fueling passenger vehicles, buses and forklift trucks as well as stationary equipment in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Rim.
