H2 infrastructureBus operation

In Barcelona Hydrogen will be produced by means of an electrolytical process. Besides from the grid, electrical power will be partly obtained through solar panels, some of them installed in the depot where the buses will be maintained, so that a renewable process of hydrogen production and utilization will be shown and demonstrated.
Hydrogen will be stored on board the buses in gaseous form, and acompression station will be installed in the depot that will allow filling the buses during their idle period at night. Safety checks will be carried out on a daily basis. The amount of gas, and the pressure under which it is stored, will give the buses enough daily running range to cover the scheduled routes.

The buses will be operated under hot climatic conditions.
