he UK’s first commercial-scale, solar-powered hydrogen production and refueling facility has been opened at the Honda car manufacturing site in Swindon. Hydrogen for vehicles and a building: The publicly accessible station employs hydrogen fueling technology supplied by BOC, a member of The Linde Group. It serves the world’s first hybrid vans running on sustainable biodiesel and hydrogen, the UK’s first fuel cell powered forklift trucks, and a fuel cell powered Education Centre on the site. The new facility has been integrated into the existing hydrogen refueling station, which opened in September 2011. It is hoped that this facility will be a benchmark for other refueling stations to follow, as well as reinforce the UK’s attractiveness as a location for major car manufacturers to roll out fuel cell electric vehicles.
