New Air Products Hydrogen Refuelling Station Opens at Loughborough Uni
Loughborough University today unveiled its new Air Products hydrogen refuelling station.
The facility is one of only two currently operational in the UK. It will enable the University provide a refuelling service to hydrogen vehicles used by campus-based organisations. Loughborough's ultimate goal is to transfer its own service fleet over to hydrogen.
Based at Holywell Park, the facility is part of a cluster of hydrogen refuelling stations being set up across the region by the British Midlands Hydrogen Forum. Known as the Midlands Hydrogen Ring, the stations will be at the heart of hydrogen fuelling infrastructure planned throughout the UK.
The refueller has been funded by Loughborough University in partnership with the East Midlands Development Agency (emda), and was manufactured by Air Products. Initially gas for the facility will be provided by an external supplier, but the University is investigating ways of creating its own hydrogen through the use of
green technologies on campus.
