March 28, 2008 – Vol. 13 No.1 Linde to Bring Fast Hydrogen Refueling to North America. Linde is the first company capable of meeting a new industry target designed to dramatically reduce the time it takes to fill hydrogen-powered vehicles. Industry experts see shortened refuelling time as an essential component to improve consumer acceptance and adoption of hydrogen-fueled vehicles. “Linde is leading the industry with our proprietary, 700-bar fast-fill technology, first developed for hydrogen refuelling stations in Europe. The technology enables us to completely fill cars in as little as three minutes,” said Mike McGowan, head of hydrogen solutions for Linde North America. Linde has equipped over 70 hydrogen refuelling stations in 15 countries, supplying hydrogen for projects large and small. Amounts supplied range from a few hundred cubic feet of compressed hydrogen in cylinders to thousands of tons of liquid and gaseous hydrogen delivered by pipeline or tanker truck.
“Linde has partnered with a variety of manufacturers, including automotive, forklift and battery makers on multiple projects. This experience, combined with our global size and scale, enables us to execute projects safely and successfully. It also gives us the expertise to deliver new and sustainable energy solutions that contribute to a greener world and cleaner environment,” McGowan said. Robert Adler, head of research and development for Linde Gas GmbH in Vienna, will discuss Linde’s 700-bar refuelling capabilities in a presentation at the National Hydrogen Association’s 19th annual conference, held March 30 through April 3 in Sacramento, California. (No specifics were given by Linde in its press release as to the deployment of hydrogen fueling facilities in North America.) The Linde Group is a world leading gases and engineering company with around 50,000 employees working in about 100 countries and achieved sales in the 2007 financial year of $18.7 billion (EUR 12.3 billion).
