Mission Statement Our goal is to design a hydrogen station that distributes hydrogen in an efficient, safe, inexpensive, and convenient manner. themoderngreen.com
Our group considered cities around the world to implement our model of hydrogen city atlassian.com splendorsofeurope.com knowledgerush.com
We picked our cities on the basis of economic strength and access to green energy icelandunlimited.is wisc.edu
After selecting 3 cities that we felt best embodied these principles, we selected our hydrogen city arrowphotos.com
In order to sustainably supply H2 city, a clean, efficient source of energy is needed investmentsinenergy.com hidden-technology.org uranium-stocks.net
The geography of San Diego makes it accessible to all forms of renewable energy nooutage.com Geni.org
Our group decided to research deep geothermal energy, an emerging type of renewable energy Popularmechanics.com
Deep Geothermal energy can power the U.S. for 2,000 while releasing no CO2 friedmanpedia.pbworks.com
Superheated rock near San Diego is very close to earth’s surface, reducing costs of the project organicpowerplus.com
Despite deep geothermal energy being very powerful and consistent, we deemed a second energy source necessary sandiegohistoricstreetcars.org
Our research revealed a potent, renewable form of energy already on the market swamplot.com
Methane, produced naturally in landfills, is extracted above the enclosed landfill prometheus-energy.com
The methane is then free to be reformed using steam reformation linde-le.com
While this process produces CO2, the net greenhouse effect is actually negative CH4=72*CO2
Hours of research yielded several patents for our group to comply to
To analyze the technological aspects of the station, we benchmarked 3 active stations
After researching all the possibilities we could find, our group created concepts in several categories
These areas included production type, storage, tank location, and dispensing method among other things
With 3600 potential concept combinations, a severe screening was necessary
We screened for the best possible ideas within each technology field
The best idea combination was then chosen through a concept selection matrix
The final pump design combines the fueling station and support structure for minimal use of materials
The roof is made with recyclable aluminum, minimizing our footprint and stress loads on the pumps
The overall station follows a Wawa/Sheetz business model, with emphasis on consumer goods
The station layout provides a lot of space for cars and trucks to move without risk of gridlock
With predicted item sales accounted for, our model predicts economic gain by the 12th quarter
