Provided herein are systems and methods for using a dual input in a fuel cell. A vehicle may include a fuel cell, a first storage, a second storage, a plurality of valves, and a processing circuit. The fuel cell includes an anode loop configured to receive hydrogen, and the plurality of valves are respectively fluidically coupled between the anode loop and at least one of the first storage or the second storage. The processing circuit may determine a type of fuel to be supplied to the anode loop, from a first type stored in the first storage and a second type stored in the second storage. The processing circuit may also generate control signals for the plurality of valves to control fluid flow from a respective storage of the first storage and the second storage, based on the type of fuel, to supply hydrogen to the anode loop.
A vehicle, comprising:
An energy system for a vehicle, the energy system comprising:
A method of using a first type of fuel and a second type of fuel in a fuel cell, the method comprising:
