Dynetek Industries Ltd. (“Dynetekâ€), a leader in developing, producing and marketing lightweight compressed natural gas (CNG) and compressed hydrogen storage cylinders, announced today that it has completed the delivery of the previously announced 450 bar Hydrogen Tube Trailer System to the IWHUP project. The delivery of the Dynetek “BT450†Tube Trailer System to the IWHUP project, is a further demonstration of how Dynetek’s “Instant InfrastructureTM†products, can enable customers to refuel Hydrogen powered vehicles easily and cost effectively.
The Bulk Transport Systems utilize removable modules – also called Powercubes to transport Hydrogen to various usage points along B.C’s Hydrogen Highway. One of the hurdles identified for the widespread adoption of Hydrogen as a motor vehicle fuel is the refueling infrastructure. These modules are a key link between the Hydrogen production and the various points of use in the Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP) “This project is an example of how Dynetek has solved the refueling challenge for Hydrogen powered vehicles, which are contributing to a cleaner environment today.†said Dr. Christian Rasche, Dynetek’s President and CEO.
The demonstration project will operate eight light-duty trucks, Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars, and a Hydrogen stationary power fuel cell. Dynetek has also supplied cylinders for the project vehicles. Because of the high volume Hydrogen transported by this system it is easier to carry out the deployment of larger fleets of Hydrogen vehicles.
Dynetek together with consortia partners Westport Innovations and Sacré-Davey Engineering, are pleased to announce their participation in the official Kick-off Event of the Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP) that is part of the BC Hydrogen Highway suite of initiatives. The five-year IWHUP has over 20 partners and culminates with this two year fully integrated demonstration phase. The IWHUP, a key part of the BC Hydrogen Highway, strengthens Canada and British Columbia’s lead in the advancement and adoption of hydrogen technologies, and is garnering world-wide attention as the model of the much needed stepping stone required to move society towards the Hydrogen Age – one of the fundamental keys to reducing climate change and a sustainable future.
