USA: New hydrogen station in the greater Los Angeles area
Launched by FirstElement Fuel, the new filling station in the San Fernando Valley expands refuelling possibilities for fuel cell vehicles in Southern California.
FirstElement Fuel is expanding the hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in Southern California with the opening of a new hydrogen filling station in the San Fernando Valley, greater Los Angeles area, reports the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP).
Opened 24 hours a day, the Studio City True Zero hydrogen station has a 808 kilograms capacity and features two fueling positions with a total of three nozzles (two H70 nozzles and one H35 nozzle).
“It is part of the next wave of larger hydrogen stations with greater capacity, diversified hydrogen sources and a lower pump price”, says CaFCP. The price of hydrogen is $13.14 per kilogram.
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%.
