Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CE&IG) and WestAir have announced a joint project to build a groundbreaking multi-use hydrogen fuel station in Long Beach, California. The innovative station aims to drastically reduce boil-off gas losses associated with hydrogen storage, a critical challenge in utilizing hydrogen as a clean energy source due to its high escape rate. By combining hydrogen fueling for vehicles with trailer loading capabilities and incorporating a boil-off gas compressor, the station is expected to achieve near-zero boil-off losses. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in supporting California's hydrogen economy, with the station set to enhance the liquid-based distribution infrastructure in the region. Additionally, the project reflects a commitment to advancing sustainable transportation by providing essential infrastructure for emerging hydrogen technologies. Key figures from Nikkiso CE&IG and WestAir expressed enthusiasm for the partnership and the station's potential impact. Mike Mackey highlighted the long-standing tradition of innovation at Nikkiso CE&IG in liquid hydrogen fueling systems, emphasizing the station's flexibility and industry-leading features. Chris Castiglione from WestAir emphasized the strategic location of the station near the Port of Long Beach, positioning it to facilitate zero-emission road freight and support the transition to hydrogen-powered transportation in the commercial sector. The fabrication of the station will be carried out by specialists from Nikkiso CE&IG in southern California, with commissioning scheduled to start in late 2025 and full operational capacity expected by early 2026. The project represents a significant milestone in the advancement of hydrogen infrastructure and reinforces the commitment of both companies to sustainable and innovative solutions in the clean energy sector.
