Air Liquide Industrial U.S. LP has reached agreement with the Centre for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) to supply the hydrogen-fuelling infrastructure for a hydrogen fuel cell bus demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama.
CTE, a non-profit organisation that specialises in bringing clean transportation technologies to the market, will manage the hydrogen fuel cell bus demonstration over a two-year period, scheduled to begin in summer 2012.
During this period, a hydrogen-powered bus will operate in regular service alongside the fleet of public buses currently operated by the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Agency (BJCTA).
Air Liquide will provide gaseous hydrogen and the compression and dispensing bus refuelling system. The system will dispense, on average, around 20kg of hydrogen per day, totaling about 12,500kg of hydrogen during the 24-month demonstration period.
