Commercial hydrogen refueling station in Tokyo
The Senju station is the first commercial hydrogen refueling station using AEM electrolysis in Asia. Here, the Enapter electrolysers used to produce green hydrogen on-site are 8-bar pressure
The hydrogen station can be used by hydrogen-powered Toei Bus services, which are operated by the Tokyo metropolitan government, as well as by general fuel cell vehicles. A fuel cell bus is supplied at a newly opened hydrogen station in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, on Wednesday. Add TheJapanNews to your Google News feed.
For electrification to work at scale, energy solutions must be fast, reliable, and space-efficient. That's why Tokyo is expanding its EV infrastructure with citywide battery swapping.
Major oil distributor Eneos Corp. is accountable for the station's operations and hydrogen production, in accordance with Tokyo government's vision for the site. This development will provide a hydrogen supply sufficient for roughly 40 fuel cell buses daily operations.
Because batteries charge gradually at the station rather than drawing high loads from the grid, swapping also reduces strain on Tokyo's energy infrastructure while ensuring a steady supply of power. This expansion of Ample's swapping network will provide additional coverage and capacity, with each station able to support over 100 vehicles.
