Green Hydrogen.
Green Hydrogen and Green Liquid Hydrogen are fast positioning their rightful place as significant future fuels.
The Fabrum Team have pioneered Green Hydrogen solutions that delivers the future today.
Read on for the fundamentals of this super fuel, details of how this looks for heavy transport and what’s to come with aviation.
HYDROGEN LIQUEFIERS.
Drawing from a decade-long legacy in providing containerised cryogenics solutions worldwide, Fabrum’s HLQ Liquid Hydrogen Plants are designed for point-of-use liquid hydrogen production and boil-off gas management (BOGM).
Fabrum also provide state-of-the-art, retrofittable hydrogen re-liquefiers for BOGM of existing liquid hydrogen storage systems.
ATTRIBUTES:
- 50kg per day to 2 tonnes per day
- No sacrificial liquid nitrogen
- Zero loss systems
- Rapid turn-up/turn down
- Retrofit BOGM to existing storage vessels
ONBOARD LIQUID HYDROGEN (LH2) STORAGE.
Fabrum’s proprietary triple-skin liquid hydrogen tank technology provides enhanced thermal insulation and fast refuelling. We build fully composite & fully metallic, stationary/on-board storage vessels.
Ground-based vehicle tanks with an outer metal skin are engineered for maximum durability, while aviation tanks are entirely composed of advanced composites, prioritizing the highest gravimetric index achievable and maximising thermal performance.
ATTRIBUTES:
- 70% faster refuelling
- Proprietary Hydrogen Delivery System (HDS)
- High gravimetric index
- High dormancy period
LH2 STORAGE.
Fabrum provides a wide range of standardised and customised liquid hydrogen storage systems. With our proprietary boil-off gas management technology we can tailor a system to maximise the energy efficiency of your storage solution. We have two decades of experience building cryogenic storage vessels for the superconducting and magnetic applications.
ATTRIBUTES:
- From 10 kg to 4000 kg
- Integrated Fuel-cell delivery systems
- High-flow liquid transfer
- Proprietary boil-off gas management systems
Turnkey LH2 solutions.
Our proprietary technology for boil-off-gas management and high-flow liquid transfer ensures minimum liquid hydrogen losses and maximum energy efficiency across the entire system.
We address every facet of liquid hydrogen management, from generation, liquefaction, zero-loss storage, high-flow liquid transfer and dispensing, controlled evaporation and temperature and pressure-controlled fuel cell delivery.
ATTRIBUTES
- End-to-end solutions
- Fast transfer and fuelling
- Whole system energy optimisation
Hydrogen Fuel Station (gas).
Fabrum manages the entire project lifecycle of your hydrogen refuelling station, from design and hazard assessments to procurement, construction and commissioning. Fabrum’s team of industry-experienced engineers and project managers, and strong relationships with major global players in hydrogen infrastructure delivery give us control over the entire value chain, ensuring that your project is delivered on time and to budget.
ATTRIBUTES:
- On-site hydrogen production
- 350-bar and 700-bar refuelling
- Scalable deployment
LH2 REFUELLING STATIONS.
Liquid hydrogen delivers superior energy density compared to compressed gaseous hydrogen, enabling more efficient storage and transportation, faster refuelling and reduced energy consumption during compression. As a world leader in the supply of small to medium scale liquid hydrogen systems, Fabrum provides hydrogen refuelling stations for public and private use in industrial or remote locations.
Liquid hydrogen refuelling stations allow for high-speed liquid refuelling as well as 350-bar and 700-bar gaseous refuelling without the need for a gas compressor or high-pressure storage on site.
ATTRIBUTES:
- Hydrogen supply via on-site production or tube-trailer
- Scalable deployment
- 350-bar and 700-bar gaseous refuelling
ELECTROLYSERS.
Fabrum, in conjunction with Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2), supplies the patented membrane-free electrolyser. With no requirement for precious-metal catalysts, these electrolyser systems provide more robust operational parameters and far superior lifetime compared to other competitors.
ATTRIBUTES:
- 25 year operating lifetime
- Cryogenic separation of Hydrogen from Oxygen
- 99.999% hydrogen output purity
- No requirement for high-purity water feedstock
Industries.
This is our sweet spot with expertise in producing Liquid oxygen and liquid Nitrogen with the AFCryocooler range, it’s a natural step to now produce liquid Hydrogen from the gaseous form. This is where we like to play – deploying and combining our skills and IP in storage, fuel tanks and cryogenics.
NEW AND EMERGING INTELECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) AND TALENT.
As a company we foster talent and have strong links with local engineering school at University of Canterbury and Ara Institute of Canterbury along with commercialisation of IP from research institutes.
We’re often asked “What’s the first step?” when starting the transition to renewable fuels for fleet operators across numerous applications. Heavy transport, maritime and aviation.
Over time the transition of diesel-fuelled vehicles fleets to Hydrogen fuelled vehicles will be complete. Dual fuels technology and retrofit options exist and provide an interim transition program for existing fleet assets.
Demand for total hydrogen fuelled assets currently outstrips supply, so transition options such as dual fuel are a pragmatic and sensible transition towards decarbonization for many operators wanting to lead the way.
Electrolysers split water into oxygen and hydrogen to generate ‘green’ hydrogen that’s zero-emission at both production and consumption, unlike ‘grey’ and ‘brown’ hydrogen.
BROWN. Created by hydrocarbon-rich feedstock, such as fossil fuel, methane, coal. Creates as much CO2 as burning the fuel in the first place.
BLUE. Basically brown, but the CO2 created is then captured, and this must then be permanently stored somehow (a significant disadvantage).
GREEN. Uses 100% renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen output is also a key benefit of this process, with oxygen production being 8 times the mass of hydrogen produced.
Hydrogen has similar safety requirements to natural gas (methane), and all modern hydrogen fuel cells, storage containers, and vehicles are designed with safety in mind for storage, transportation and refuelling.
You can convert it to electricity using a fuel cell, and then power cars, ships, planes etc.
It can be added to natural gas and burnt in thermal power or district heating plants.
You can use it as a precursor for other energy carriers, from ammonia to synthetic fuels.
Hydrogen refuelling is similar to refuelling with CNG. Simply drive up and refuel in a matter of minutes.
No significant downtime like EV.
1kg for approximately 110 km.
20-30 kgs per day.
Hydrogen itself is 8 times lighter than a battery. So it depends on how you store it. For personal vehicles, hydrogen will have a similar weight, but a faster recharge/refuel time.
However, in large commercial vehicles that need a long-range hydrogen becomes a much lighter alternative.
