A yr after it was introduced, the federal government’s journey into hydrogen mobility within the Peninsular has lastly begun with the launch of its cell hydrogen refuelling station (MHRS) pilot challenge in Putrajaya. The launch, held earlier as we speak, was officiated by ministry of science, expertise and innovation (MOSTI) minister Chang Lih Kang
Chang stated the challenge was developed to proactively stimulate market demand for hydrogen via collaboration with fuel-cell electrical car (FCEV) homeowners and suppliers. He added that Sime UMW and UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has contributed three Toyota Mirai hydrogen FCEV automobiles and can present the operation and upkeep providers for these automobiles for this section of the challenge.
Positioned at Parking Lot 2M8 in Precinct 2, the MHRS has two containers, the primary housing a 90 megapascal (MPa) compressor and two chillers for the compressor and dispenser, and the second holding two storage containers (50 and 90 MPa). The dispenser options two nozzles to deal with a full vary of FCEVs. Nozzle one is comparable in idea and design to a petroleum nozzle for inner combustion engine automobiles, and that is used for a car such because the Mirai, with the refueling course of taking lower than 5 minutes.
Nozzle two is used for buses and vans, and refueling for these car varieties may be achieved inside quarter-hour. When it comes to dealing with capability, the MHRS is able to dishing out 100 kg of hydrogen per day, equal to refueling 20 Mirais.
Final November, Chang stated that the whole funds for the MHRS trial can be round RM12 million, with the upper preliminary value being put all the way down to the MHRS being the primary of its form within the Peninsular.
Chang stated that Putrajaya was chosen as a strategic location for the MHRS station on account of its full infrastructure, environment friendly logistics and the supply of an appropriate web site with out land constraints. “The situation not solely helps the early use of public transport comparable to hydrogen-powered buses and lorries, but additionally facilitates expertise validation and public demonstration actions,” he stated in his speech.
In response to MOSTI, various companions are cooperating on the challenge. Apart from Sime UMW and UMWT, the minisry stated that NanoMalaysia (NMB), because the asset administrator representing it, will utilise the MHRS as a testbed for brand spanking new time period business alternatives, whereas Petronas Expertise Ventures (PTVSB) will provide the hydrogen and oversee the station’s engineering, procurement, development and commissioning (EPCC).
Additionally engaged on the challenge is the Malaysian Inexperienced Expertise and Local weather Change Company (MGTC), which is able to conduct a feasibility examine on using FCEV automobiles on native roads, supported by information from UMWT and the MHRS provider, which is Hydrexia.
