Hydrogen Station By: Andrew Lohr, George Asbeck, Joe Dodd-O, and John Ryen

Mission Statement Our goal is to design a hydrogen station that distributes hydrogen in an efficient, safe, inexpensive, and convenient manner. themoderngreen.com

Our group considered cities around the world to implement our model of hydrogen city knowledgerush.com splendorsofeurope.com atlassian.com

We picked our cities on the basis of economic strength and access to green energy wisc.edu icelandunlimited.is

After selecting 3 cities that we felt best embodied these principles, we selected our hydrogen city Cities Stockholm, SwedenSan Diego, CaliforniaGeneva, Switzerland CriteriaWeightRating Weighted Score Rating Weighted Score Rating Weighted Score Strong Economics 20% Population15% Access to Green Energy 40% Progressive Culture 25% Total Score Rank312 ContinueNoYesNo arrowphotos.com

In order to sustainably supply H2 city, a clean, efficient source of energy is needed investmentsinenergy.comhidden-technology.org uranium-stocks.net

The geography of San Diego makes it accessible to all forms of renewable energy Geni.org nooutage.com

Our group decided to research deep geothermal energy, an emerging type of renewable energy Popularmechanics.com

Deep Geothermal energy can power the U.S. for 2,000 while releasing no CO2 friedmanpedia.pbworks.com

Superheated rock near San Diego is very close to earth’s surface, reducing costs of the project organicpowerplus.com

Despite deep geothermal energy being very powerful and consistent, we deemed a second energy source necessary sandiegohistoricstreetcars.org

Our research revealed a potent, renewable form of energy already on the market swamplot.com

Methane, produced naturally in landfills, is extracted above the enclosed landfill prometheus-energy.com

The methane is then free to be reformed using steam reformation linde-le.com

While this process produces CO2, the net greenhouse effect is actually negative CH4=72*CO2

Hours of research yielded several patents for our group to comply to

To analyze the technological aspects of the station, we benchmarked 3 active stations

After researching all the possibilities we could find, our group created concepts in several categories

These areas included production type, storage, tank location, and dispensing method among other things

Our screening allowed us to create 3 final concepts Concept Type FeatureLimited Start-Up CostsAmenities-drivenTechnology and Amenities ProductionElectrolysisBiogasBoth Tank LocationGround levelBelow Ground AmenitiesRestroom/MinimartTV Pump EntertainmentWawa/Sheetz style minimart, pump entertainment SpaceMinimalModerateHigh

The best idea combination was then chosen through a concept selection matrix

The final pump design combines the fueling station and support structure for minimal use of materials

The roof is made with recyclable aluminum, minimizing our footprint and stress loads on the pumps

The overall station follows a Wawa/Sheetz business model, with emphasis on consumer goods

The station layout provides a lot of space for cars and trucks to move without risk of gridlock

With predicted item sales accounted for, our model predicts economic gain by the 12 th quarter
