Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and the State of Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have signed an agreement for the development of hydrogen fueling station technology as part of the TCEQ’s New Technology Research and Development (NTRD) Program to reduce emission sources in Texas.
GTI is teaming with GreenField Compression, Incorporated of Richardson, TX to develop and commercialize integrated natural gas-to-hydrogen fueling stations, building upon GTI’s cooperative program with the U.S. Department of Energy.
The GTI-TCEQ program focuses on developing and commercializing integrated natural gas-to-hydrogen fueling stations and related components such as hydrogen compressors, hydrogen dispensers, and system packaging and controls. Hydrogen fueling stations are a key requirement to enable introduction of zero-emission fuel cell vehicles. The system will use GTI-developed steam methane reforming technology as well as GTI’s Hydrofill? dispenser control algorithm for accurately filling hydrogen-powered vehicles. The Hydrofill controls have undergone extensive validation testing by GTI.
GreenField Compression develops and manufactures compressed gas systems used for natural gas, hydrogen, and other specialty gases. GreenField Compression has over 1700 systems in operation throughout the world and produces packaged compression systems for the industrial gas market.
GTI is the research, development and training organization serving the natural gas industry and energy markets. For more than 60 years, GTI has been meeting the nation’s energy and environmental challenges by developing technology-based solutions for consumers, industry, and government.
