Hydrogen fueling station with integrated ammonia cracking unit

Abstract

A system comprising an ammonia cracking unit in which ammonia is split into hydrogen and nitrogen and a hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen from the ammonia cracking unit which comprises gas operated valves (GOVs), one or more hydrogen compressing units wherein the hydrogen from the ammonia cracking unit is compressed, and one or more dispensing units for dispensing the compressed hydrogen to vehicle tanks which each comprise a nozzle through which the hydrogen is passed to the vehicle tank, wherein nitrogen from the ammonia cracking unit is used in e.g.: the operation of one or more of the GOVs; for blanketing one or more of said hydrogen compressing units; for blanketing and/or purging one or more of the dispensing units; for drying one or more of the nozzles between uses to prevent nozzle freeze on.
