Air Liquide计划美国新氢灌装车站

Air Liquide announces plans to develop and supply a fully-integrated hydrogen fueling infrastructure in the northeast United States, in collaboration with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. (Toyota), to support Toyota’s introduction of a new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), the “Mirai”, and its plans to deliver hydrogen FCEVs in the United States.

Air Liquide’s U.S. hydrogen fueling infrastructure in the northeast will initially consist of twelve filling stations在许多国家，计划将网络扩展为需求保证。氢灌装站将提供典型的车辆灌装体验。液化空气开发的车站允许燃料电池电动车在不到5分钟的时间内填满, and FCEVs themselves offer anautonomythat can reach up to300 miles (500 km) in range, depending on the model.

该倡议是本公司目前在美国和北美融资电池能源活动中的最新组合，其中还包括最近授予加利福尼亚州的氢气加油站，以及公共公共汽车和仓库车辆的许多车队加油项目。

液化空气积极参与在全球层面上建立氢能产业。该小组已交付全世界60多个氢气站。Air Liquide already operates hydrogen filling stations for the general public in Europe, including Rotterdam, Netherlands and Düsseldorf, Germany. In Germany, Air Liquide is also a partner of the “H2 Mobility initiative” which aims to deploy about 400 hydrogen stations covering the whole country by 2023. In 2014, the Group announced the installation of four new hydrogen filling stations in Denmark (the first hydrogen infrastructure network in Europe at national level).

Hydrogen has great potential to provide清洁能源。用于燃料电池，氢气与空气中的氧气相结合，以产生电力，用水作为唯一的副产物。Air Liquide is present across the entire hydrogen supply chain，从生产到储存，分配和最终用户应用的开发，从而有助于推动氢气作为清洁能量的广泛使用。

迈克尔J. Graff., Air Liquide Group Senior Vice-President for the Americas and Executive Committee member, commented:“Air Liquide和Toyota分享了对创新的共同点和明确的致力，以及用于车辆运输的清洁能源未来的愿景。空气液化空气在世界各地运输部门的出现时会出现良好的承诺。我们很自豪能够处于氢气燃料电池技术的最前沿以及必要的基础设施的部署。我们支持创建新的流动生态系统和氢气广泛使用作为运输部门的清洁可靠的能源。”
