Hydrogen to revolutionize how India meets energy needs, says Joseph
Fluitron LLC, an established developer and manufacturer of industrial-grade gas compression systems from Pennsylvania, has introduced a significant milestone in acceleration of hydrogen technology development in India with the first domestically-built hydrogen dispenser installed in Faridabad.
“Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize how India meets its growing energy needs while simultaneously promoting sustainability and reducing emissions,” said Tom Joseph, Vice President of Business Development at Fluitron LLC.
“For more than a decade, Fluitron has provided customers with engineered, customized hydrogen technology solutions for energy storage and use in diverse markets. This investment in hydrogen technology helps ensure that India’s economy continues to grow while improving environmental quality and public health,” he said on 16 Jan 2023.
This dispenser, which is capable of filling tanks at 350 bar pressure, features two nozzles for light and heavy-duty vehicles and a third nozzle for the future addition of 700 bar hydrogen dispensing. It also integrates a cascading system and pre-cooling protocols specified through international codes and standards.
It had completed the manufacturing, testing, installation and PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) approval for the hydrogen dispenser in India.
India currently relies heavily on coal and other fossil fuels for electricity generation. Combined with the fact that India is expected to be the world’s most populous country by 2030, an energy crisis is looming, noted the company.
Hydrogen offers several advantages over traditional fuels when it comes to addressing the energy issue. It produces fewer emissions than fossil fuels while still providing a reliable source of power on demand. It is also relatively inexpensive when compared to other fuel sources like natural gas or nuclear power plants.
In addition, it can be easily transported over long distances due to its low weight and high energy density. This makes it ideal for areas with limited infrastructure or access to energy sources.
A global leader in precision technology for clean energy with over 45 years of experience, Fluitron has grown to become a trusted partner for industrial gas compression technologies. Setting the bar in creating equipment that safely handles hydrogen and other specialized gases, Fluitron has the expertise to deliver the technology critical to the people’s mission. fiinews.com
