A Tale of Two Stations

Shell Hydrogen Heavy-Duty Truck Fueling Station

Three permanent Shell Hydrogen truck stations were commissioned in 2021 to support the Port of Los Angeles, Shore to Store, FCET demonstrations. They are the first of their kind, globally. These stations have 1600 kg gaseous hydrogen stored at 50 MPa. The station is equipped to dispense hydrogen fuel at two pressures, 35MPa and 70MPa. These stations utilizes light-duty hydrogen dispensers as it predates the establishment of HD fueling protocols. To facilitate the 40 – 80 kg truck fills, the station is designed to fuel trucks with dual hydrogen gas receptacles. The station fills a single truck using two nozzles. The flow rate is on average, 2kg/min with a maximum rate of 3.6 kg/min. 

First Element Fuel HD Truck and LD Automotive H2 Fueling Station

H2 StationThis permanent, First Element Fuel, hydrogen truck fueling station was commissioned in 2024. The station has 18,000 kg of liquid hydrogen storage. It is equipped with a private truck lane that has two fueling positions that fill at 70 MPa pressure and 35 MPa pressure. The dispensers use high flow nozzles that fill at (xx kg/min). The station has a 10 min/truck fill time and can fill 200 trucks/day .​

Also on site is a segregated, publicly available, light-duty fueling island that has five fueling positions, four are 70 MPa and one is 35 MPa.
