NanoSUN is supporting the hydrogen mobility sector by manufacturing and commercialising a mobile hydrogen refuelling station which will be utilised across the UK and Europe.

The Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station is a fully mobile, self-container and automated solution carrying approximately 350kg of hydrogen on-board, presenting a vital steppingstone in enabling the economic rapid deployment of the hydrogen ecosystem in the UK.

As part of the visit, the NanoSUN refuelling station refuelled a hydrogen-powered double decker bus from Wrightbus.

Shaun Turner said, “The climate change emergency affects us all and responding to it effectively will require commitment, innovation, and investment from all parts of government and the private sector.

“We’re already working with our partners in Lancashire to prepare a framework for everyone playing their part in creating the cleaner, healthier, future we need to sustain ourselves and our environment, and achieve Net Zero carbon as a county.

“Harnessing low carbon technologies over the coming years will be vital, and it has been incredibly encouraging to see at first hand the work being carried out by NanoSUN right here in Lancashire towards making hydrogen-fuelled vehicles a common sight on our roads.”

Lee Juby, Commercial Director at NanoSUN, said, “The Pioneer’s capacity to deliver more than 10 rapid full fills to the Wrightbus’ StreetDeck Hydroliner demonstrates the vital element needed if we’re to get the transport industry to a clean, green future fast!

“This week NanoSUN not only highlighted that quick and efficient hydrogen distribution and dispensing can be achieved at a low cost, but that the Pioneer’s innovative, flexibility to deliver in-field and mobile refuelling means that operators of hydrogen vehicles and equipment don’t need to solely rely on fixed filling stations when they can have a cost-effective option directly on site.”
