Stuart Energy Systems Corp. (Toronto, Canada) announced an expansion of the scope of its Hydrogen Energy Station (HES) development project, including an additional $1.4 million in funding support from Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC). As part of the project, Stuart Energy has developed technology that produces clean hydrogen for vehicle fueling. The project amendment will allow Stuart Energy to adapt the technology for use in hydrogen backup power generators and hydrogen-based storage systems for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
The HESfp with both fueling and power capabilities is comprised of five modules: water electrolysis-based hydrogen generation, compression, high-pressure storage, hydrogen fuel dispensing and power generation. The HESfp can produce and deliver clean and safe hydrogen fuel to vehicles and provide backup or peak power to facilities, resulting in an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional diesel backup power generators used in most large buildings today.
