Linde Gas, part of The Linde Group, one of the leading suppliers of industrial gases and chemicals, is the sole provider of hydrogen fuel for the largest American hydrogen energy conference, which has started yesterday in San Antonio, Texas.
"Fueling and driving hydrogen-powered vehicles just got easier and more energy efficient, thanks to technology developed by Linde. As the theme of this year's NHA conference is 'Hydrogen: Here and Now,' it is only appropriate for Linde to demonstrate our unique capability of fuelling all vehicles at this important event," said Joachim Wolf, the executive director for hydrogen solutions of The Linde Group.
Linde Gas is a Gold Sponsor at the National Hydrogen Association's conference, which is scheduled from March 19 to 22. The company will provide both compressed gaseous hydrogen and cryogenic liquid hydrogen to vehicles from automakers including BMW, Daimler-Chrysler, Honda, GM, Toyota and Volkswagen.
In the said conference, Linde Gas will showcase its in-house technology to fuel all types of hydrogen-powered vehicles. "Linde has equipped over 60 hydrogen filling stations worldwide and soon expects to meet the world's current automotive hydrogen demand with the help of sustainable hydrogen production methods, such as hydrogen produced from biomass," Wolf said.
Wolf and Frank Ochmann, the head of the BMW Hydrogen 7 Series development project, BMW Group, presented the entire hydrogen chain yeaterday. Linde is an exclusive partner of BMW on hydrogen fuelling technology and an essential hydrogen supplier to the BMW CleanEnergy project.
"As a fuel source, liquid hydrogen's low volume and high energy density enables vehicles like the BMW Hydrogen 7 to travel longer distances between refueling," Wolf said. Wolf also will deliver a keynote address on Thursday, March 22, on the hydrogen infrastructure as well as a presentation public fuelling of hydrogen powered vehicles on March 21 in Exhibition Hall B.
After the NHA conference, Linde also will present at the Compressed Gas Association's segment following the NHA conference on Friday, March 23. Wolf will undertake the safety aspects of fueling vehicles with liquid hydrogen. Bob Boyd, the hydrogen solutions project development manager, also will tackle the usability of composite carbon fiber tubes for storing hydrogen.
