Hydrogen Station By: Andrew Lohr, George Asbeck, Joe Dodd-O, and John Ryen
2
Mission Statement Our goal is to design a hydrogen station that distributes hydrogen in an efficient, safe, inexpensive, and convenient manner. themoderngreen.com
3
Our group considered cities around the world to implement our model of hydrogen city knowledgerush.com splendorsofeurope.com atlassian.com
4
We picked our cities on the basis of economic strength and access to green energy wisc.edu icelandunlimited.is
5
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%2.43.651.0 Population15%2.34.62.3 Access to Green Energy 40%2.852.031.2 Progressive Culture 25%51.2541.04 Total Score2.754.23.5 Rank312 ContinueNoYesNo arrowphotos.com
6
In order to sustainably supply H2 city, a clean, efficient source of energy is needed investmentsinenergy.comhidden-technology.org uranium-stocks.net
7
The geography of San Diego makes it accessible to all forms of renewable energy Geni.org nooutage.com
8
Our group decided to research deep geothermal energy, an emerging type of renewable energy Popularmechanics.com
9
Deep Geothermal energy can power the U.S. for 2,000 while releasing no CO2 friedmanpedia.pbworks.com
10
Superheated rock near San Diego is very close to earth’s surface, reducing costs of the project organicpowerplus.com
11
Despite deep geothermal energy being very powerful and consistent, we deemed a second energy source necessary sandiegohistoricstreetcars.org
12
Our research revealed a potent, renewable form of energy already on the market swamplot.com
13
Methane, produced naturally in landfills, is extracted above the enclosed landfill prometheus-energy.com
14
The methane is then free to be reformed using steam reformation linde-le.com
15
While this process produces CO2, the net greenhouse effect is actually negative CH4=72*CO2
16
Hours of research yielded several patents for our group to comply to
17
To analyze the technological aspects of the station, we benchmarked 3 active stations
18
After researching all the possibilities we could find, our group created concepts in several categories
19
These areas included production type, storage, tank location, and dispensing method among other things
20
With 3600 potential concept combinations, a severe screening was necessary Selection CriteriaSelection Criteria ABCDE Direct SolarBiomassElectrolysisCracking Steam Reforma tion Accessibility-0+0+ Cost-00-+ Efficiency-00-+ Environmental Impact +0++- Sustainability+0+-- Portability+0+0+ Sum +'sSum +'s30414 Sum 0'sSum 0's06220 Sum -'sSum -'s30032 Net ScoreNet Score004-22 Rank33142 Continue?

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
23
The best idea combination was then chosen through a concept selection matrix
24
The final pump design combines the fueling station and support structure for minimal use of materials
25
The roof is made with recyclable aluminum, minimizing our footprint and stress loads on the pumps
26
The overall station follows a Wawa/Sheetz business model, with emphasis on consumer goods
27
The station layout provides a lot of space for cars and trucks to move without risk of gridlock
28
With predicted item sales accounted for, our model predicts economic gain by the 12 th quarter
