  1. Venice’s Hydrogen Fueling Station Megan Muroski Jonathan Zuk Robert Chisena

  2. Why Hydrogen?

  3. Why Venice?

  4. On March 25, 2011, members of Team 4 hiked out to Pennsylvania State University's own hydrogen fueling station

  5. We searched externally and internally to find the best methods to guarantee maximum safety, reliability, and cost effectiveness of our station

  6. Ten 10,000 gallon hydrogen and natural gas holding tanks will be filled weekly by barge

  7. Safety • Maintaining safety at a hydrogen fueling station is critical. The hydrogen and natural gas are at a high pressure, and thus the fuel is extremely dangerous if not handled correctly . We plan on ensuring that every aspect of the station is fail-safe through the following methods: • Hourly checks • Infrared connecting technology • State-of-the-art fueling nozzles and equipment • Trained and up-to-date personnel • Hydrogen Releasing Roof

  8. The fueling station will produce its own hydrogen through the method of steam-methane reforming and brine hydrolysis

  9. The main station is designed to receive shipments of hydrogen and natural gas as well as distribute it to consumers

  10. Smaller fueling stations will be located throughout the city. They will provide easy access to consumers at different locations in the city

  11. From our main station, we will transport hydrogen and natural gas to the other stations located throughout the city via a network of pressurized pipelines

  12. The technology at use in our hydrogen fueling station adds to the safety and reliability of our fueling station

  13. Costs of the station include building, maintaining, and buying the materials necessary to distribute hydrogen

  14. Solid Works Model

  15. Physical Model

  16. Comments on the feasibility of such a fueling station • The most important part of any project is asking the question of “will it work.” • In order to be able to maintain a profit, the revenues must outweigh the costs, and there must be a growing demand for hydrogen fuel. • Technology to compress hydrogen, create hydrogen, and distribute hydrogen must be constantly expanding. • The cost of hydrogen must be comparable, if not better, than the cost of oil. • Consumers must continually demand energy that is clean for the environment, cost effective, and reliable.
