Hydrogen Produced On Site

摘要

The idea of operating vehicles on hydrogen has potential of reducing vehicle emissions, improving vehicle operational efficiency, and to reducing the dependency on petroleum. Although hydrogen can be commercially produced from various hydrocarbon feedstocks, the remaining limitation to wide-scale deployment is the lack of a hydrogen fuel distribution infrastructure to replace petroleum. By producing hydrogen on the site of the vehicle refueling station, the need for a new distribution infra structure is eliminated.

主权项

1. A system for distributing hydrogen fuel to vehicles comprising:
a distributable source of hydrocarbon fuel; a hydrogenator which is capable of producing hydrogen from the hydrocarbon fuel at or near the point of vehicle refueling; a hydrogen refueling station that is capable of safely refueling hydrogen vehicles; and at least one or more hydrogen powered vehicles that are capable of using the hydrogen fuel to propel the vehicle.
