The very first hydrogen fuelling station along a highway in Europe...
http://www.flandersnews.be/cm/de.red...s/080603_hydro
Tue 03/06/08 16:05 - The very first hydrogen fuelling station along a highway in Europe opened on Tuesday in Belgium, near Brussels on the E19 motorway in Ruisbroek (direction of Paris). It is pilot project. The hydrogen fuelling station is a pilot project by Total Petroleum and BMW. There is only one fuel pump, but this is not a problem. At the moment only BMW 7 H2s can fuel at the station. (VRT) There are only 4 cars of this series in Belgium: all of them belonging to the European Commission. The fuelling station tank holds 17,000 litres of compressed liquid hydrogen, stored at -253 degrees centigrade. The pilot project is costing €1.8 million. The companies stress that they think it is important to invest in the future. Hydrogen still presents a few major problems. It takes up a lot of room for storage and on a full tank you can only drive 200 kilometres. Flemish Minister of Innovation, Patricia Ceysens, was present at the opening. |

Just curious but does it use any energy to keep it stored at a temperature of -253 degrees centigrade? |

Just how long does it take to refill (or exchange) a tank of hydrrogen? If it takes longer than 5-10 minutes, I wouldn't bet on its commercial success! How far can an ordinary automobile go on a tank of hydrogen. Electric cars are proud of their ability to do 150 miles or 200km between charges but that's uncompetitive. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

A range of 150 miles and no indication of how long a fill takes, thanks but no thanks! Even if the base price of a BMW looks doable, you usually have to buy 25% more in accessories. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
