Edmonton has unveiled Alberta’s first mobile hydrogen fuelling station, part of the AZEFF initiative to pilot hydrogen for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. The Azolla Biodrome, a modular mobile fuelling system, produces hydrogen using methanol and deionized water. It can fuel 45 light-duty vehicles or 10 transit buses daily. The pilot program will gather data on vehicle performance and fuel reliability through 2027. The $6.9-million project involves a coalition of partners, including Sturgeon County, Strathcona County, and industry stakeholders, with a focus on driving clean energy innovation. The project aims to address the lack of hydrogen infrastructure for municipal fleets and promote environmental stewardship. The mobile station is equipped with smart technology for efficient fuelling and is the first of its kind in Alberta. Regional partners and industry players see this as a crucial step in exploring new technologies in clean energy and reducing emissions. The project also acts as a proof of concept for hydrogen adoption in Alberta, paving the way for future expansion and testing capacity.
