Dynetek Industries Ltd has completed the delivery of a
previously announced 450 bar Hydrogen Tube Trailer System to the IWHUP project.
The Bulk Transport Systems utilize removable modules – also called Powercubes
to transport Hydrogen to various usage points along British Columbia’s Hydrogen
Highway.
One of the hurdles identified for the widespread adoption of
Hydrogen as a motor vehicle fuel is the refueling infrastructure. These modules
are a key link between the Hydrogen production and the various points of use in
the Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP).
The demonstration project will operate eight light-duty
trucks, Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars, and a Hydrogen stationary power fuel cell.
Dynetek has also supplied cylinders for the project vehicles. Because of the
high volume Hydrogen transported by this system, it is easier to carry out the
deployment of larger fleets of Hydrogen vehicles.
Dynetek together with consortia partners Westport
Innovations and Sacré-Davey Engineering, are all participants in the Integrated
Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP) that is part of the BC Hydrogen
Highway suite of initiatives.
The five-year IWHUP has over 20 partners and culminates with
this two year fully integrated demonstration phase.
