USA: FirstElement Fuel launches hydrogen station in California
The Sunnyvale hydrogen station is one of the first locations in California serving passenger cars to have four fueling positions.
California-based hydrogen retail provider FirstElement Fuel launched a new hydrogen filling station in Sunnyvale, California. The site will serve the growing fuel cell passenger car market in Silicon Valley and the greater Bay areas, according to California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP).
The Sunnyvale True Zero hydrogen station capacity is 1,600 kilograms and has four fueling positions with a total of five nozzles (four H70 nozzles and one H35 nozzle). It is one of the first locations in California serving passenger cars to have four fueling positions and capacity up to six times the size of earlier hydrogen stations. The site will be able to fuel three cars simultaneously.
The next-largest stations for passenger cars that are similar include the True Zero station in Fountain Valley that opened in July; and the True Zero station in Oakland that opened in late 2019, with more than 800 kilograms.
The station offers 100% renewable hydrogen. California requires that at least 33% of hydrogen fuel come from renewable sources. For stations that qualify for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard ZEV infrastructure credit, that amount increases to 40%.
