Campus fuels energy study

摘要

Motorists driving hydrogen-fuelled vehicles are in luck if they want to fill up - but only if they are driving in the West Midlands. Birmingham University has launched what is now the only hydrogen gas filling station in England at its Edgbaston campus. The Air Products Series 100 fuelling station was installed at the university's department of chemical engineering so researchers could study the viability of hydrogen-fuelled transport as part of Birmingham's Science City hydrogen energy project. The engineers will compare five hydrogen-powered vehicles against a selection of petrol, diesel and all-electric vehicles to rate their efficiency and performance.
