Hydrogen: the fuel of the future!
Hydrogen, or just H₂, has the potential to transform our daily lives while contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable planet. Known as the simplest and most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen consists of just one proton and one electron, making it lighter than all other elements. It’s an odorless, non-toxic gas that naturally occurs in combination with other elements, such as in plants and biomass.
In recent years, hydrogen has gained significant attention as a fuel, emerging as one of the cleanest and most sustainable alternatives, especially compared to fossil fuels.
Applications of H₂:
- Fuel Cells: For cars, buses, and energy supply in industries and buildings
- Industrial Processes
- Energy Storage for Renewable Energy
Advantages of H₂ as a fuel:
- Zero CO₂ emissions
- Multiple production sources
- High energy density
The future started from the 3rd JIVE Roadshow
Coral Gas is once again leading the way, with a focus on the safe and reliable transport of hydrogen to end-users, beginning with the 3rd JIVE Roadshow.
Coral Gas played a key role in the 3rd JIVE Roadshow, which made its debut in Greece. With the support of Motor Oil and Hellenic Hydrogen, alongside the Bioeconomy and Environment Cluster of Western Macedonia (CluBE) and in collaboration with the European project TRIERES (a small-scale hydrogen valley), a hydrogen-powered bus traveled across Europe, visiting Romania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Bulgaria, as well as major cities in Greece, including Thessaloniki, Kozani, Athens, and Patras. The roadshow provided valuable insights into the operation of these environmentally friendly vehicles.
The event showcased the hydrogen bus (Fuel Cell Electric Bus) alongside a Multi Element Gas Container that refueled the bus with hydrogen. The initiative aimed to raise public awareness about the benefits of hydrogen as a clean energy source for transportation.
During this project, Coral Gas was responsible for the seamless refueling of the bus with H₂ through a specially designed tanker-container, equipped with hydrogen storage cylinders and safety equipment to ensure the secure handling of the fuel.
Looking ahead, Coral Gas is preparing for new energy challenges. The first hydrogen station is currently under construction, expected to be operational by the end of 2024 under the AVIN brand, with Coral Gas handling the refueling.
Coral Gas is ready to shape the future of energy!
