With little hydrogen infrastructure available, Hyperion Motors plans to deploy mobile hydrogen stations to support its XP-1 fuel-cell supercar.

The Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations, which can also be equipped with DC fast-chargers for battery-electric vehicles, will be quicker to deploy than conventional infrastructure, and can be repositioned as needed to meet real-time demand, Hyperion said in a press release.

Hydrogen can be produced onsite via water electrolysis, with electricity supplied by solar panels mounted on the roof of each unit to ensure the hydrogen produced is truly green, according to Hyperion. How hydrogen is produced is an important consideration, because some methods can be quite carbon-intensive.

Green hydrogen might be ready to scale up this decade, the Rocky Mountain Institute recently underscored. But without a strict definition of what makes green hydrogen green, The U.S. Energy Department’s proposed hydrogen hubs might be as dirty as coal, experts have warned.

The stations are being developed with technologies from NASA and Shell’s GameChanger startup accelerator program, and will feature “state-of-the-art touch screen controls, contactless payment, and a self-sanitizing nozzle utilizing UV light,” Hyperion said.

The company also said the stations will be able to function as stationary energy-storage units capable of “storing electrons for much longer lengths of time than is possible for batteries,” although it didn’t…
