Pine-Ponchatoula Tune Ups Electrical Air Conditioning Fuel Injection Brakes Computer Engine Service Carburetor Hours: M0ndaythru Friday 7:30am to 6 pm Hyundai, California pioneering hydrogen fuel CHINO, Calif. -The Califor- nia Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded Hydrogen Fron- tier, Inc. a $3 million grant to build a new 100 percent renew- able hydrogen fueling station for fuel cell electric vehicles at Hyundai's hydrogen energy generation and fueling station in Chino, Calif. The project will include: • 100 percent of the energy consumed in generation and op- eration of the station and 100 percent of the fuel dispensed will come from a renewable source, a new path of innova- tion and sustainability in Cali- fornia • Energy used to create hy- drogen will be purchased from a renewable energy provider - • With this upgrade;'the sta- tion will be able to produce at least 100 kilograms of hydro- gen per day, enough to dispense approximately 6,000 to 9,000 vehicle fill-ups with hydrogen annually • Capability to produce hy- drogen from the electrolysis of water on site • System pressures of 350 Bar and 700 Bar will allow fuel- ing of all fuel cell vehicles (FCV) including fast refueling The station, situated at a testing facility for Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc., will be located at the site of an existing hydrogen station origi- nally constructed in 2005 to support Hyundai's fuel cell ve- hicle fleet. On top of the $3 million re- building project funded by the California Energy Commission grant, an additional $1.7 mil- lion funded by partners Hydro- gen Frontier Inc., Powertech and ITM Power will go toward modernizing the facility to meet the latest industry standards for hydrogen generation, stor- age and dispensing. The required completion date for the renovations is Oc- tober 2014, at which point the fueling station will open to the public for the first time. The fa- cility will increase the existing hydrogen fueling network in California and will be the first publicly accessible hydrogen fu- eling station in San Bernardino County. "Hyundai has been support- ing governments, energy com- panies and other organizations globally to develop an easily ac- cessible and affordable hydrogen infrastructure," said Dr. Sung Hwan Cho, president, Hyun- dai America Technical Center, Inc. "With world-class partners like Hydrogen Frontier and the support of the California gov- ernment, we are expanding the hydrogen fueling infrastructure and taking one more step t0- ward mass production of a fuel cell electric vehicle." Production of the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell began at the company's Ulsan manufactur- ing plant in Korea in January 2013, making Hyundai the first automaker to begin commerc:ial production of a hydrogen-pow- ered vehicle. The first complete car rolled off the assembly line on February 26, 2013. Hyundai is investigating potential de- mand for the Tucson Fuel C, ell Vehicle in the U.S. market, par- ticularly in California, where most of the hydrogen refueling infrastructure development has taken place. "Hydrogen Frontier Inc. is excited to work with this inno- vative group of companies for this unique opportunity," said Daniel Poppe, vice president, Hydrogen Frontier Inc. "This was our first hydrogen station in 2005 that we were asked to contribute to. Now, less than 10 years later, we get to de a com- plete comprehensive update of that same site." Hyundai has researched hy- drogen-powered fuel cell vehi- cles in the United States silace 2000. It is a member of the C, al- ifornia Fuel Cell Partnership and has conducted fleet testing of three generations of SUV- based hydrogen vehicles across the United States. Hydrogen fuel cells use hy- drogen to create electric:ity which powers the electric-drive vehicles. Fuel cell vehicles have no tailpipe greenhouse er~lis- sions and their extended rmage between fill-ups and the speed at which they refuel are compa-, rable te that of conventional ve- hicles. The development of fttel- ing stations, such as the Chino facility, is crucial to the success ef fuel cells in the marketplace. In California today, there are eight public stations, and 17 more are in development. The goal is to have 68 stations in place to support the larger roll- out ef the vehicles in the next few years.
