Hydrogen Filling Station
Approved for Mazda
by Jenny McLane
Mazda Motor Corporation has received authorization from the Japanese government
to operate a hydrogen-gas filling station near its Hiroshima headquarters. The
station stores and supplies fuel to Mazda vehicles powered by hydrogen rotary
engines; the vehicles are currently under development. The station should be
able to fill up to 10 vehicles a day.
The RX-8 Hydrogen Rotary vehicle, which runs on either hydrogen or gasoline will
be marketed as a commercial model to public offices and enterprise users in
Japan Mazda now continues its development of the world’s first dual-fuel rotary
engine, the H2RE (Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE). The new facility will store and
supply fuel for the hydrogen-rotary powered vehicles and Mazda looks likely to
have street-legal versions in use within the next two years.
The novel concept appeared as part of the Mazda display at the International
Detroit Motor Show in January, and builds on the colossal worldwide success of
the Mazda RX-8 four-door coupe. The H2RE is powered by a modified version of
Mazda's award-winning RENESIS rotary engine and features an electronically
controlled hydrogen direct injection system on the rotor housing.
The hydrogen/rotary combination also offers superior environmental performance -
zero CO2 emissions and near zero NOx emissions. The innovative engine can be
built reliably at a relatively low cost because existing parts and production
facilities are utilized. More importantly, the hydrogen/gasoline dual fuel
system will enable the H2RE to travel beyond the range of the few hydrogen
filling stations now available.
Mazda will continue to develop this technology for practical use and for a
hydrogen-fuelled society of the future.
