What is it about?
This paper reports main criteria for design, realization and validation of a solar-powered hydrogen fueling station in a smart city application relevant to an on-site hydrogen production plant. The program has been developed by CNR-ITAE together with other industrial partners in the framework of the Italian research project called i-NEXT (innovation for greeN Energy and eXchange in Transportation)

Why is it important?
The design, development and the operation data of the first Italian solar powered hydrogen fueling station have been reported in this paper. The fully-automated refueling of a hydrogen bus and the operation of the entire production, storage and refueling system have been demonstrated in safety conditions. A complete refueling of a hydrogen bus has been performed in 35 min, reaching a maximum temperature of 50 °C.
Perspectives
Hydrogen has the potential to aid in increasing the use of renewables energy resources and to contain greenhouse gases emissions by acting as an energy carrier.
