Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group and WestAir Gases & Equipment have announced a partnership to build a cutting-edge hydrogen fueling station in Long Beach, California. This station aims to revolutionize hydrogen transit by minimizing boil-off losses and catering to both direct vehicle fueling and trailer loading. Scheduled to commence on-site commissioning in the final quarter of 2025 and achieve full functionality by early 2026, the station will offer a 350-bar dispenser for hydrogen-powered buses and the infrastructure to fill hydrogen tube trailers, contributing to the decarbonization of road freight in California. One of its key features is the incorporation of a boil-off gas compressor, allowing the recapture and reuse of vaporized hydrogen, a breakthrough in hydrogen storage and fueling operations. Mike Mackey, President of Fueling Solutions at Nikkiso, expressed pride in the innovation and flexibility of this project, emphasizing the significance of this station's capabilities. Chris Castiglione, Energy Specialist at WestAir, highlighted the station's regional importance in advancing clean transit solutions and making hydrogen-powered transportation a viable option for the commercial sector. The station is also designed with scalability in mind, with plans for future expansion to 700-bar fueling and an impressive flow rate capacity to manage multiple fills simultaneously, catering to both transit vehicles and trailers through its dual loading bays.
