Hydrogen Fuel Technology |
|
Linde is a world leading partner in the development of hydrogen fuel for transportation. This includes gaseous and liquid hydrogen as well as hydrogen fuel cells and Linde's technology and experience with refueling hydrogen vehicles. Linde is the only company in the world that covers hydrogen's entire value creation chain: production, purification, liquefaction, storage and transport to the end customer.
The hydrogen fuel cell is one of the most aggressively pursued technologies of the decade, one in which many millions of dollars are being invested by some of the world's largest companies. If successful, hydrogen fuel cells would not only clean up the environment, but also hasten a massive shift in our energy infrastructure.
Linde Gas is highly involved in various hydrogen fuel projects around the world, and is working to find better ways to derive, store, transport, and deliver hydrogen to our customers for this up-and-coming technology. More than a dozen car manufacturers have demonstrated hydrogen fuel prototypes, and at least one hopes to soon have a hydrogen-powered car on the commercial market. Contact us - Linde welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your organization. |

(1) Linde AG, working with Opel, has created the first 10,000 psi hydrogen filling station in the world. This higher storage density extends the range of a fuel cell vehicle by 60 to 70%, to over 750 miles. Fuel tanks can be filled in no more than three and half minutes with this prototype, while meeting the highest possible safety standards. The filling station, in the Opel Test Center in Germany, was designed and built as a turnkey project by Linde. Learn about the Opel Fuel Cell Marathon by clicking on the link (1) below.
(2) Linde AG is also working on fuel storage and handling systems for liquified hydrogen (LH2) and liquified natural gas (LNG) with companies like BMW and MAN. Almost every major car manufacturer is now working with Linde to turn the hydrogen-powered car into reality.
(3) With the support of Linde Gas US and Proton Energy Systems, Suffolk University's Frank Sagan Energy Research Laboratory now has an integrated system for on-site production and safe storage of hydrogen for an operating 60-watt fuel cell. To learn more about the three phases of this important project, read the Hydrogen Generation / Fuel Cell demonstration by clicking on the link (3) below.
(4) Linde AG, as a gas and engineering company, is taking a pioneering role in the field of hydrogen technology. To learn more read Hydrogen, Energy Carrier of the Future by clicking on the link (4) below.
(5) Linde paid study on the economic feasibility of a hydrogen infrastructure for automobiles in Europe. Results show that centralized hydrogen production is more economical than decentralized. Also that payback periods for production and distribution are in the range of 10 to 15 years. |
