Supply and Dispensing of Fuel Cell Purity Grade Green Hydrogen Fuel

Description

The Council is inviting suitably qualified and experienced applicants to submit bids for the supply of Compressed Gaseous Hydrogen Fuel for use in both dual-fuel combustion engines and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). This will include, but not be limited to, the supply and dispensing of hydrogen fuel, the design and installation of a suitable Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS) and the maintenance and management of said HRS. supply of compressed hydrogen produced exclusively from renewable energy defined as Green Hydrogen. Hydrogen must be fuel cell purity/grade for use in heavy duty fuel cell electric vehicles est. 20 RCV’s and 20 diesel-hydrogen dual-fuel Gritters. Green Hydrogen defined: Hydrogen fuel produced by electrolysing water using renewable energy sources and as close to zero carbon as possible, with latest technology. On-site production preferred, trailered green hydrogen will be considered but carbon and impact will be evaluated. Renewable power verifiable by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin scheme or Power Purchase Agreement. The hydrogen dispensed will be of Fuel Cell Grade purity as specified in ISO14687/SAE J2719 or equivalent. The Hydrogen Refuelling Station deployed must have capacity to dispense minimum of 550kg per day and be suitable for expansion to minimum of 1500kg. Hydrogen supplied at 350b and 700b to service heavy and light fleet vehicles. Estimated daily hydrogen is 320 kg H2/day minimum uptake of 250 kg. HRS must support Infrared fast fill protocol (IR-COMMS) enabling hydrogen fill rate of 120 grams /second in accordance with SAE J2601/2 or equivalent
