PRF Gas Solutions recently launched its portable refueling station for hydrogen vehicles. This portable refuelling station, the first in Portugal, will be used to refuel vehicles powered by fuel cells.

The new hydrogen refueling station, also known as DRHYVE, currently supplies heavy and light vehicles at 350 bar, and in the future will also supply light vehicles at 700 bar. The system was installed in the city of Cascais, Portugal, and is currently supplying two buses, also nationally manufactured (built by Caetano Bus) and a light car.

"PRF already has in construction the second DRHYVE station and, although this station does not have its own production, we are already designing stations with its own local production of hydrogen, making the systems fully autonomous," said Bruno Faustino, Director of the Hydrogen Business Unit.

The DRHYVE station was entirely designed, developed and built in Portugal by PRF. It is the first of many refueling stations for hydrogen that PRF intends to build like the numerous CNG/LNG units designed, developed and built by PRF around the world.

"Hydrogen will play a very important role in mobility and in a short time we will have important fleets of vehicles with hydrogen fuel-cells, and we are sure that the important role that PRF has in the refueling stations for natural gas vehicles, will also have in the hydrogen refueling stations," said PRF CEO Paulo Ferreira.
