Abstract
Systems and methods to calculate and monitor the amount of green and other hydrogen present and used in a fuel tank.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method to determine an amount of hydrogen in a fuel tank, the method comprising:
- establishing, via processing circuitry, a communication link with a hydrogen origination point;
- receiving hydrogen into a fuel tank, the hydrogen being received from the hydrogen origination point;
- obtaining, by the processing circuitry over the communication link, data relating to a source and amount of hydrogen being supplied to the fuel tank, the source of the hydrogen being based on a process used to produce the hydrogen;
- determining, by the processing circuitry using the data, the source of the hydrogen;
- and
- determining, by the processing circuitry using the data, the amount of the hydrogen received from the source.

A system to determine an amount of hydrogen in a fuel tank, the system comprising:
- a fuel tank having hydrogen therein received from a hydrogen origination point;
- and
- processing circuitry communicably coupled to the fuel tank and hydrogen origination point, the processing circuitry comprising memory having instructions stored thereon to perform operations comprising:
- establishing, using processing circuitry, a communication link with the hydrogen origination point;
- receiving hydrogen into the fuel tank, the hydrogen being received from the hydrogen origination point;
- obtaining, by the processing circuitry over the communication link, data relating to a source and amount of hydrogen being supplied to the fuel tank, the source of the hydrogen being based on a process used to produce the hydrogen;
- determining, by the processing circuitry using the data, the source of the hydrogen;
- and
- determining, by the processing circuitry using the data, the amount of the hydrogen received from the source.
