Hydrogen Stations in USA

Almost all of the fuel cell vehicles in the United States are in California. And there are also beginning to occur in other states such as Hawaii, New York or Florida. This is because there is no hydrogen supply network anywhere in the US outside of California and Hawaii. More are in development in the northeastern US and more are expected in the Pacific Northwest.

Most stations source pressurized hydrogen gas, which relies on compressor stations and a network of trucks to get the H2 to filling stations. Many future stations will supply liquid hydrogen, the supply of which is larger and more reliable. As more stations are built, the availability of hydrogen for your fuel cell vehicle obviously increases.

The United States Government says the goal is 200 hydrogen stations in California by 2025. By 2030, a total of 1,000 stations are "anticipated" in the state. Once gas stations are added in other states, the number of fuel cell vehicles will grow across the country. Approximately 80% of hydrogen filling stations now have a capacity of 150 to 200 kilograms of hydrogen. A typical refueling requires perhaps 3 kilograms or a little more. So a typical station can fill between 50 and 67 hydrogen fuel cell cars before running out of H2. As future stations will use liquid rather than gaseous hydrogen, they will have capacities of 500 to 800 kg, or enough for between 167 and 267 cars. Some stations could have a capacity of 1,200 kg, that is, 400 cars.

In December 2023 there were 107 hydrogen refueling stations in the United States, almost all of them in California, although with one open in the state of Hawaii. Likewise, there are projects to open new points of sale on the east coast, especially in New York, Washington and Florida, with New York being where the most advanced projects are located.

Nikola has secured a $2 million grant from the United States Department of Energy to study autonomous refueling at hydrogen stations, the manufacturer announced on Thursday. This type of refueling would minimize labor costs and reduce the need for equipment maintenance.

Autonomous refueling should allow a heavy truck with an electric fuel cell to refuel in less than 20 minutes. Hydrogen is considered a quick way to refuel trucks, unlike recharging batteries, which can take up to five hours. Autonomous refueling would mean eliminating the human work necessary to pick up a hydrogen bomb and insert the nozzle into the truck's tank. The process could be carried out with a robotic arm, such as the one used by Robofuel.
