Historical 10 years back


No Direct Code or Standards for H2 Fueling Stations No Prior Experience Limited knowledge on applicable Fire / Building Code Basis Primarily on Industrial Practice 1000+ LH2 / GH2 Installations 50+ Hydrogen Compression Systems Since no Codes existed for H2 Fueling Stations: Used and Exceeded Industrial Equivalents Used Compressed Natural Gas as Reference Above Approach was successful

Codes and Standards Recent Development


Large number of Codes & Standards developed over the last 10 yrs Roadmap for Codes & Standards heavily promoted by US Department of Energy Air Products is actively participating in developing: Installation Codes: NFPA, I-Code, ISO Components Codes: ASME, ISO, CSA, SAE Interface Codes: SAE Where questionable safety or conflicting requirements arise. Air Products can work to correct through code process

Importance of Components Codes


Component standards - critical for safe operation of stations

Installation and interface codes have shown good progress


Technology exceeding typical industrial requirements: Cannot use off the shelf components for long term reliability as it provides min level of safety Codes required for listed equipment & 3rd party certification Requires testing to meet operating conditions Component standards are lagging (TIR to Standards) A lot of effort, only few people involved Few suppliers see the market today Standards need to be performance based Need to expand capable supplier base

Examples of a few Gaps


SAE Standards are primarily Automotive focused. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) focus well suited for standards such as J2578, J2579. OEM focus not suitable for interface standards such as Purity & Fueling protocol Purity Standard: Part of TIR J2719, includes seven constituents at detection limit, very difficult and expensive to measure Fueling protocol: Draft TIR J2601 requires fuel to be delivered at or below hardware design temperatures

Standards for H2 Vehicle Fuel Communication Device: SAE J2601 address this however standard does not apply to buses or off road vehicle: Recognizes Air Products intellectual property suite AP agrees to license universally

Example of H2/HCNG Station Codes & Standards


Reform 100 kg / day of H2 from natural gas

Dispense H2 at 350 bar with communication fill to California Fuel Cell Partnership standard
Blend and dispense 30% H2 by volume with CNG at 250 bar non-communication fill as HCNG HCNG not addressed yet in nearly all US and world wide Code and Standards NFPA52: A Chapter was proposed but was rejected SAE and HGV left blend out of scope

Learnings from C&S Development


Utilize Codes available and customize appropriately for local markets. Avoid Re-Inventing Need experienced professionals to developing codes and standards
Demonstrations are best laboratory for Codes and Standards development

Avoid Codes and Standards being developed by interest groups; minimize one sided and narrow
basis; potential conflict of interest

Conflicting Codes can cause confusion. Need


roadmap to direct completion

18

Conclusions
Codes and Standards Improves Safety, provides consistency Assists with permitting process Levels playing field for all participants Enables market to develop in orderly fashion Codes and Standards work has progressed C&S work is essential; it is time consuming Feedback from demonstration is critical Properly developed Codes is valuable, however a poorly written Codes can be detrimental Better to have none than a poor Standard
