SERC is now beginning the construction phase of our hydrogen station upgrade project. When it’s complete, the upgrade will allow us to completely fill our Toyota fuel cell car with 6 kg of hydrogen. That will give us a 400-mile range, enough to travel to the Bay Area or Sacramento and back.
The new 700 bar compressor has arrived and the on-site work for the fueling station upgrade is in progress. The extension to the east block wall is complete and our design has been reviewed and approved by an independent engineer with experience in hydrogen systems. In the coming weeks the compressor will be moved to its final location (no small task) and plumbing and electrical work can begin. We’re excited to see the upgrade taking shape; stay tuned for more updates.
