Within the framework of transport decarbonization, sustainable mobility, and the energy transition, hydrogen refueling is playing an increasingly vital role, particularly in sectors that are difficult to electrify.
In this scenario, MOBHyLE compressorless HRS stands out—our proprietary solution designed to make hydrogen refueling more accessible, flexible, and immediate by eliminating the need for complex infrastructure such as compressors.
From green hydrogen production to on-site refueling
Green hydrogen represents one of the pillars of the energy transition in the transport sector, spanning from production to distribution and end-use. However, its widespread adoption still faces certain limitations, particularly regarding on-site distribution and refueling.
MOBHyLE compressorless HRS addresses these challenges with an innovative approach. It is a mobile dispenser for refueling hydrogen vehicles without a compressor, enabling fast and safe supply in various contexts.
This solution allows for the transport of hydrogen via high-pressure storage (up to 500 bar), which is connected directly to the mobile dispenser upon arrival at the site. This ensures the system is immediately ready to dispense. Refueling takes place at 350 bar (H35), ensuring compatibility with various vehicle types. Once the refueling process is complete, the plant is disassembled and removed, leaving the site unaltered.
The result is a leaner supply chain, with a positive impact on the growth of sustainable mobility and the sector’s decarbonization goals.
Quick installation thanks to the plug-and-play system
One of the key features of the MOBHyLE compressorless HRS is its plug-and-play design, which drastically reduces installation times.
The system is delivered to the site alongside the hydrogen storage units and, via a simple hose connection, is immediately operational. The entire installation process takes less than 24 hours, with no need for civil engineering works or permanent infrastructure.
This feature marks a paradigm shift compared to traditional stations, which are often characterised by long implementation times and high investment costs, thereby improving access to hydrogen mobility technologies.
Simplified authorisation procedures for testing and temporary installations
In Italy, regulations governing hydrogen refuelling via fixed installations are particularly stringent. These impose restrictions regarding safety distances, the construction of retaining walls and other technical requirements that make it difficult to test vehicles over short periods, due to high costs and excessively long installation times.
MOBHyLE compressorless HRS overcomes these obstacles thanks to its mobile and temporary nature. In fact, the system can be installed, used and removed within the same day, significantly simplifying the authorisation process and making it possible to launch pilot projects and small-scale tests.
Hydrogen refuelling in confined spaces and diverse settings
A key advantage lies in the operational flexibility of this solution. Thanks to the system’s compact design and low power consumption, MOBHyLE compressorless HRS can also be installed in locations unsuitable for traditional infrastructure.
In fact, this system is designed to operate in:
- remote areas
- ports and maritime environments
- sites with limited power supply (<100 kW)
- confined spaces (<600 m²)
Furthermore, it is compatible with various types of vehicles, including buses, boats and industrial vehicles, broadening the scope for hydrogen applications and promoting the development of hydrogen-powered mobility and more sustainable solutions.
A concrete path towards the decarbonisation of transport
The contribution of the MOBHyLE compressorless HRS to decarbonisation is significant, particularly in sectors such as heavy goods transport, marine, aviation and heavy-duty transport. In these sectors, where electric solutions are less effective due to issues relating to range, vehicle weight and charging times, hydrogen offers a viable alternative.
MOBHyLE compressorless HRS acts as a technological enabler, offering:
- reduced CAPEX and OPEX thanks to the absence of compressors and coolers
- easier access to testing and trials
- faster implementation
- expansion of hydrogen’s application contexts.
This solution enables the application of hydrogen transport systems to be extended to new contexts, accelerating the development of this technology. Indeed, hydrogen has the potential to decarbonise various types of non-electrifiable vehicles such as boats, aircraft and other modes of transport that require extremely short refuelling times and high mileage, such as buses, lorries, forklift trucks and taxis.
Thanks to this innovative refuelling system, we are helping to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen, promoting a sustainable energy transition with direct implications for the mobility of the future.
