Pioneering Hydrogen Refuelling Stations for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Alfa Laval, in collaboration with eight other industrial companies, is developing high-capacity hydrogen refuelling stations for heavy-duty vehicles as part of the EU’s HORIZON Europe funding programme. The project aims to support the transportation sector’s shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources like hydrogen. The goal is to create stations capable of safely refuelling 100kg of hydrogen in less than 10 minutes, a significant challenge due to the need to cool the hydrogen to -30°C before injection into the vehicle tank. The project, fully funded by the EU, will run from 2023 to 2027 and will cover the development from concept to two operating demo stations. This initiative is expected to significantly boost the hydrogen mobility market and provide Alfa Laval with valuable insights to ensure its heat exchangers meet industry requirements.
