02 Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift trucks As a result of ongoing industrialisation, the global hunger for energy is constantly rising. This situation requires new solutions even today, because, now and in the future, the growing energy demand must be reliably met while at the same time ensuring maximum environmental protection. As an energy carrier, hydrogen covers both tasks: on the one hand, it is a sustainable and safe alternative to conventional fuels, and, on the other hand, it is especially eco-friendly. Moreover, if renewable energy sources are used for its production, hydrogen...

Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift trucks Using hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier is especially attractive for the operation of FLTs because it not only means easy handling, greater efficiency, less downtime and a small C02 footprint but low costs as well, making this method both economically and ecologically worthwhile. Instead of a combustion engine or a lead-acid battery, a hydrogen-powered FLT is based on an energy-efficient fuel cell which in turn activates an electric motor. Especially when compared to a battery-powered FLT, the efficiency of this innovative system starts even...

04 Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift trucks 04 Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift trucks Apart from extensive know-how for the implementation of hydrogen projects, Linde has many years of experience in developing, producing and installing hydrogen fuelling station technologies and provides customised services for reliable hydrogen station maintenance and efficient operation. Hydrogen production In spite of highly efficient processes, conventional hydrogen production methods such as steam reforming generate C02 emissions. In order to establish a hydrogen chain which is completely C02-free, Linde...

Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift frocks Flexible hydrogen fuelling solutions for FLTs Hydrogen fuelling station technologies Compression technology is crucial for hydrogen fuelling stations because hydrogen can only be fuelled with a pressure difference. Technologically, this pressure difference is created by means of a compressor. Depending on the individual fuelling reguirements, Linde has developed compression technologies for compressed gaseous hydrogen as well as for cryogenic liquid hydrogen. The application of these technologies is subject to various different factors such as the...

06 Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift trucks Hydrogen FLT fuelling station at BMW, Greer, SC, USA For its vehicle manufacturing plant in Greer, South Carolina, Linde provided BMW with a hydrogen fuelling system for its material handling fleet. Linde engineered and installed a liquid hydrogen tank and six indoor hydrogen dispensers which are supplied by an ionic compressor fuelling system. After having their lead-acid batteries replaced with hydrogen fuel cells, fuelling BMW's FLTs with hydrogen now takes an operator less than three minutes. Hydrogen FLT fuelling station at Coca-Cola (CCBCC),...

Hydrogen as a fuel for forklift frocks Hydrogen FLT fuelling station at Whole Foods, Landover, MD, USA For its distribution centre in Landover, Maryland, Linde provided Whole Foods with a hydrogen fuelling system for its material handling fleet. Linde engineered and installed a liquid hydrogen tank and two indoor hydrogen dispensers which are supplied by an ionic compressor fuelling system. After having their 63 battery-powered FLTs upgraded to hydrogen fuel cells, fuelling Whole Food's FLTs with hydrogen now takes an operator less than three minutes. Get in touch with our hydrogen...
