Some like it cryogenic

October 15, 2018 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories helped design the first generation of fueling stations for hydrogen-powered cars so that they’re as safe as conventional gas stations. Now, Sandia is working to do the same for the next generation of hydrogen stations. To keep up with growing demand for hydrogen fuel,...

Optimizing hydrogen-powered passenger ferries focus of Sandia Labs study

July 13, 2017 • LIVERMORE, California — Maritime transportation has emerged as one solution to the traffic gridlock that plagues coastal cities. But with urban passenger ferries operating in sensitive environments and tourist areas, hydrogen fuel cell-powered passenger ferries offer a quiet, zero-emission alternative to conventional diesel vessels. In its San Francisco Bay Renewable...

Hydrogen-powered passenger ferry in San Francisco Bay is possible, says Sandia study

October 6, 2016 • LIVERMORE, Calif. — Nearly two years ago, Sandia National Laboratories researchers Joe Pratt and Lennie Klebanoff set out to answer one not-so-simple question: Is it feasible to build and operate a high-speed passenger ferry solely powered by hydrogen fuel cells? The answer is yes. The details behind that answer are in...

Sandia finds shared opportunities for natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle markets

March 10, 2015 • LIVERMORE, Calif.—Fueling stations that offer both hydrogen and natural gas could benefit distributors of both fuel types, says a new Sandia National Laboratories report, “Transitioning the Transportation Sector: Exploring the Intersection of Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Natural Gas Vehicles.” The report, from a workshop last fall supported by the Department...

More California gas stations can provide H2 than previously thought, Sandia study says

July 8, 2014 • LIVERMORE, Calif. — A study by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories concludes that a number of existing gas stations in California can safely store and dispense hydrogen, suggesting a broader network of hydrogen fueling stations may be within reach. The report examined 70 commercial gasoline stations in the state of...

Widespread hydrogen fueling infrastructure goal of H2FIRST project

April 30, 2014 • LIVERMORE, Calif.— As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles continue to roll out in increasing numbers, the infrastructure for fueling them must expand as well. To this end, a new project launched by the Energy Department and led by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Rene…

Low-cost, hydrogen-powered forklifts with rapid refueling, zero emissions coming soon

April 15, 2014 • LIVERMORE, Calif.— Zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell systems soon could be powering the forklifts used in warehouses and other industrial settings at lower costs and with faster refueling times than ever before, courtesy of a partnership between Sandia National Laboratories and Hawaii Hydrogen Carriers (HHC). The goal of the project is...

Portable hydrogen fuel cell unit to provide green, sustainable power to Honolulu port

February 25, 2014 • Deployment project builds on earlier study’s optimistic results LIVERMORE, Calif.— Clean hydrogen power that’s expected to lower emissions and reduce energy consumption will be coming to the Port of Honolulu in 2015 after the completion of a new fuel cell technology demonstration, one that could lead to a commercial technology...
