This H2FIRST project report, published in April 2015, presents near-term station cost results and discusses cost trends of different station types. It compares various vehicle rollout scenarios and projects realistic near-term station utilization values using the station infrastructure rollout in California as an example. It describes near-term market demands and matches those to cost-effective station concepts. Finally, the report contains detailed designs for five selected stations, which include piping and instrumentation diagrams, bills of materials, and several site-specific layouts. This work presents the hydrogen community with a uniform, cost-optimal formula for designing and building hydrogen stations. The piping and instrumentation diagrams (also provided in a stand-alone file) and bills of materials provided include a level of detail not previously reported publicly.
