ABOUT THE TOUR This tour will feature a 700-bar hydrogen fueling facility that supports hydrogen fuel cell vehicle research at UC Berkeley. The station was constructed in late 2010 through early 2011 and became operational in May 2011 as the first 700-bar hydrogen station in Northern California. The tour will include the method of hydrogen delivery ("tube trailer"), hydrogen compression system, pre-cooling, composite-vessel storage, the hydrogen dispensing unit, and safety systems and controls, as well as future plans for onsite renewable hydrogen production.
