Tests RHeaDHy hydrogène à très haut débit sur la zone d'essais HRS !

Hydrogen refueling 5 times faster

The European project RHeaDHy, launched in early 2023, aims to refuel an H2 storage capacity of 100 kg of hydrogen in 10 minutes at 700 bar.

Why this project?

Hydrogen-powered trucks will be able to refuel in less than 10 minutes with an 80 to 100 kg tank, it is comparable to that of 44-tonne diesel trucks.
The components needed to achieve these flow rates are not yet available on the market.

The project RHeaDHy aims to bring together manufacturers, integrators and laboratories to develop, test and optimise high-flow refueling systems.

RHeaDHy brings together a multidisciplinary consortium made up of 9 partners from 3 different European countries. With 8 industrial partners and 1 research organisation, this project is mainly operational.

First conclusive trials: Very high flow refueling for heavy mobility

« 160g of hydrogen per second: very high flow achieved! The first tests were conclusive, bringing us closer to the project target of 300g/s peak! Development can continue, and we're staying on course with our initial plans to integrate the modules and manufacture this new very high-speed station in 2025 at our own production site. "

Mathieu, chef de projets R&D au sein de la #HRSteam, notre responsable du projet RHeaDHy

As part of this European project, Mathieu is managing the specification, design and assembly of the new hydrogen line, as well as orchestrating all the manufacturers involved to ensure that every component created fits seamlessly into the future station.

HRS committed to the hydrogen industry

Our collaborative research and development centre, which is unique in Europe, remains a crucial advantage for testing, experimenting and developing future products and solutions for the hydrogen mobility market.

Thanks to this very high flow refuelingsolution, we can meet future supply needs for the heavy duty mobility.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2022-1 No 101101443. The project is supported by the Clean Hydrogen Alliance and its members.

Well done to the whole #RHEADHY team on this latest milestone!
