Under a new partnership, the trio will integrate Bosch Rexroth’s liquid hydrogen cryopump technology and GenH2’s controlled storage systems into Hyroad’s first refuelling station located in Dallas.
The station is expected to come online by 2026 and is slated to “eliminate” hydrogen boil-off losses during storage and dispensing.
The station’s capacity has not been revealed.
Liquid hydrogen is viewed as one of the most effective ways to transport hydrogen due to its higher energy density than compressed hydrogen. However, boil-off – which occurs when liquid hydrogen warms above -253ºC and reverts to gas – and energy conversion losses can erode that benefit.
By combining the technologies, Greg Gosnell, CEO of GenH2, said the station would remove all “typical industry” liquid hydrogen losses.
The Florida-based firm says its cryogenic storage technology can control temperature, densification and pressure to maintain super-low temperatures with the ability to re-condense hydrogen gas back into a liquid.
Dmitry Serov, founder and CEO of Hyroad, said the station “sets a new bar” and would be a “huge step forward” in the commercial viability of hydrogen as a clean energy solution.
In January, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) selected Hyroad for funding to support its plans to deploy 28 hydrogen-powered trucks in Texas over the next two years.
It is also said to be developing heavy-duty hydrogen refuelling stations in Southern California and the Central Valley area.
