Hydrogen as fuel for transportation sector is going to play a prominent role when it comes combating the climate change, as its only by-products are heat and water. Rapid surge in adoption rate for fuel cell vehicle (FCV) could be driven by improvements in fuel cell technology, as well as rise in number of Fuel Cell Vehicle Charging Station (FCVCS). This paper explores how a gas turbine from the Baker Hughes™ portfolio can be used to create a circular economy model for hydrogen fueling stations. Solid Oxide Electrolyzer (SOE) and carbon capture unit are the two prime components that are integrated to the gas turbine. The SOE unit, powered by the gas turbine, generates hydrogen for refueling the FCVs and to use for itself as a blended fuel, bringing down the carbon footprint. Proposed FCVCS solution can refuel about 250 FCVs in half a day of operation (50% power split). Economic analysis shows that the solution is lucrative with attractive return on investment. The solution is flexible to incorporate Power-to-X conversions. Modular nature of the solution makes it easy to implement in city limits as well as in remote locations, along the highways, where grid availability is a challenge. |
