Abstract
Systems and methods and methods are disclosed for receiving, storing, using, and tracking hydrogen fuel from renewable and non-renewable resources to fuel a prime mover.
Claims20
A fuel system for a prime mover, the fuel system comprising:
- a first fuel tank including a renewable hydrogen fuel, the first fuel tank including a first outlet for supplying the renewable hydrogen fuel to the prime mover;
- and
- a second fuel tank including a non-renewable hydrogen fuel, the second fuel tank including a second outlet for supplying the non-renewable hydrogen fuel to the prime mover.
A method for fueling a hydrogen powered prime mover, the method comprising:
- logging, in a controller associated with the prime mover, one or more parameters associated with a first type of hydrogen fuel stored with the prime mover for use by the prime mover;
- logging, in the controller, one or more parameters associated with a second type of hydrogen fuel stored with the prime mover for use by the prime mover;
- and
- tracking, with the controller, the amount of the first type of hydrogen fuel and the second type of hydrogen fuel consumed by operation of the prime mover.
