Toshiba Commissions PV-powered Hydrogen Refueling Station in Japan

H2One ST unit uses the sun as its energy source. It consists of a solar PV generation unit, hydrogen and water storage tanks, a water electrolysis unit, a storage battery unit, and a pure hydrogen fuel cell unit.

The plant gets its power supply from a solar generation of 20MW capacity and grid power. Power generated from solar energy is stored in the battery. When the need arises, water electrolysis takes place to produce hydrogen in a carbon-free setting. The hydrogen is then stored in a tank which delivers it to the fuel cells.
