| H2 infrastructure | Bus operation | The steam-reformer is designed for small production-quantities and can be operated flexibly from 40 to 100 % of its power. This kind of technology and design of a compact-steam-reformer that is built on skids, paves the way for a decentralised hydrogen-supply-concept in the future.
The produced hydrogen is stored in a tank-system in order to provide enough hydrogen to fill up the buses at the filling-station. However, in it’s natural state, hydrogen is not dense, so it requires compression for storage. , In Stuttgart the tank system is designed as a set of high-pressure-tanks with maximum pressures up to 350 bar.
In case the steam-reformer is not in use there is a connection available for external hydrogen supply by trailer.
The operational concept of the Project in Porto is structured into three parts: generating the hydrogen via steam-reformer, operating the fuel-cell buses and providing information for the project-partners. STCP is responsible for the bus operation and BP for the hydrogen infrastructure and the hydrogen supply. | The buses will be operated in a hilly environment and under hot climatic conditions. |
