Electrolysis

Two fuelling stations are producing hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using electricity generated from hydroelectric power.

Surrey, BC

Electrolysis uses an electric current from the BC Hydro grid to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Both stations then store the hydrogen fuel in pressurized storage cylinders and dispense it to power fuel cell automobiles and buses.

Victoria, BC

The Victoria Station utilizes a three-tiered storage bank of low, medium and high pressure storage cylinders. This fuelling system has the capability to fuel the next-generation of fuel cell electric vehicles which may have higher pressure fuel storage cylinders on board with minimal additions.
