Abstract: A method and system for mobile storage and dispensing of hydrogen (H2) for refueling H2-powered vehicles includes a compressor system having a plurality of compressor stages in fluid communication with at least a portion of manifold valves in locations between compressor stages. A booster compression stage positioned downstream of the compressor system is in fluid communication between at least two of the manifold valves. A plurality of H2 storage banks is positioned downstream of the compressor system and the booster compressor stage. Low-pressure H2 is pressurized by the compressor system and/or the booster compressor stage to a working pressure and stored within the H2 storage banks. Upon a decrease of the H2 in one or more of the H2 storage banks from the working pressure, the H2 is repressurized by the booster compressor stage. Also disclosed is a ground-based cryogenic tank and a method of manufacturing a ground-based cryogenic tank.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for controlling gaseous hydrogen (GH2) refueling of a GH2 vehicle, wherein a vehicle fuel tank is refilled with GH2 from an external supply tank. The system includes a target patch or a cell of a temperature-dependent reflectivity material on an exterior of the vehicle fuel tank, and a sensor package including an electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitter and a radiation detection system positioned remote from the vehicle tank being filled. The sensor package is located on or adjacent an external refueling device with a line of sight to the target patch or cell.
