HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION: Options & Status
Gaseous trucking is expensive due to low capacity, shall be substituted in future due to scale limitations
Liquid (Liquefaction + trucking) is capital intensive but optimisation opportunities are available
Pipelines also capital intensive and only an option for a more mature market

REFUELING COST REDUCTION ROADMAP: Hydrogen Refueling is Expected to be More Expensive than Gasoline (Unlike FCVs)
Gen I: prototype stations (50-100 kg/day) – cost are scaled-up to1000 kg/dayGen II: first small series stations of the same designGen III: commercial stations of the same design
Based on 1000 kg/day (volume) pipeline supplied station

Hydrogen Refueling Cost Reduction to enable Commercialisation
Options: Higher Pressure Pipeline/Lower Pressure Storage (Ppipe >
Ptank) - Eliminate compression & storage at station Liquefaction Technology – Efficient ways to simplify &
reduce costs Liquid Thermal Compression – high throughput, thermal
compression of liquid utilizing the energy stored in the liquid
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT: Opportunities for Cost Reduction
(patent pending)
May 5, 2010Copyright of Shell Alternative Energies 12
Hydrogen Refueling Cost Reduction to enable Commercialisation
Options: Vent setback requirements (C&S) – significant reduction in
station footprints & site development costs Simpler refueling protocols – reduction in control hardware
& dispenser costs (Ref: Honda presentation @ NHA 2010) 700 Bar v/s 350 Bar - 30% reduction in potential costs

Hydrogen Refueling Cost Reduction to enable Commercialisation
Recommendations Cooperation on technology advancements/next-gen stations Cooperation on station simplification Standardization & competition on station development
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATIONS
Cost reduction of hydrogen supply is essential for success of hydrogen mobility, much like FCV costs
Hydrogen refueling & distribution costs represent the biggest gap and present ample opportunities for cost reduction
The main avenues for refueling cost reduction are Technology advancements Station Simplification Increased competition in the supply chain Standardisation of station designs “Mass production” of station components
