Edmonton Leads the Way: Mobile Hydrogen Fuelling Station Launch
Key Ideas
  • Edmonton launches Alberta's first mobile hydrogen fuelling station to pilot zero-emission fleets.
  • The mobile station is part of the Alberta Zero Emissions Fleet Fuelling initiative to explore hydrogen as a fuel source for various vehicles.
  • The Azolla Biodrome, a unique modular system, produces hydrogen on-site and can fuel up to 45 light-duty vehicles or 10 transit buses per day.
  • City manager Eddie Robar expresses excitement for the project, highlighting the potential for Edmonton to lead in hydrogen fuelling technology.
Edmonton has unveiled Alberta's inaugural mobile hydrogen fuelling station, situated at the city's Ellerslie facility, as a step towards reducing carbon emissions and adopting clean energy practices for municipal fleets. The station is part of the Alberta Zero Emissions Fleet Fuelling initiative, focusing on testing hydrogen as a viable fuel for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles. The mobile station, named Azolla Biodrome, is a pioneering hydrogen fuelling infrastructure powered by methanol and deionized water, capable of producing and storing hydrogen on-site in 16 steel tanks. With a daily capacity to fuel around 45 light-duty vehicles or 10 transit buses, it also features Alberta's premier fully compliant hydrogen pump. Eddie Robar, the city manager, expressed enthusiasm for advancing hydrogen technology in Edmonton and the region through this initiative, emphasizing collaboration and dedication to exploring alternative energy solutions. The project is recognized as a significant milestone in promoting sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation options, positioning Edmonton at the forefront of hydrogen fuelling innovation.
