Other prospective users include airfield mobile lighting which can replace diesel generators. The facility will serve advanced fuel cell autos from four manufacturers, prototype SF MTA buses and a San Mateo County-funded minibus. It is planning to complete the project by early 2012. As of June 2011, the airport was awaiting release of $4.7m in funds for the project. The pure hydrogen station was expected to be completed by 2010, but was delayed due to lack of funding. Twenty-seven hotel and off-airport parking courtesy shuttles were to be operating in this area. Entry is from South McDonell Road, which lies inside the SFO periphery.īy late 2009 SFO’s new facility was expected to start operations on the hythane blend. SFO’s hydrogen fuelling complex is just a block from the Highway 101 interchange, next to Millbrae Avenue. The inclusion of $2.3m in grants from the public sector and $1.4m from the private sector are part of the plan. The SFO facility’s total combined investment is $3.7m. These include biofuel buses, natural gas taxis, filtered diesel charter and scheduled buses, shuttles, buses, hybrid rental cars, utility vehicles, electric train cars and aircraft service vehicles. More than 1,800 clean vehicles operate at SFO. SFO signed a memorandum of understanding with the San Mateo City / County Association of Governments to develop hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in 2006. The San Mateo City / County Association of Governments, The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and California Air Resources Board are some of the public sector agencies involved in the collaboration.
The facility is a collaboration between private sector energy companies such as Linde. Providing pure hydrogen and hythane, the SFO facility will be the first public access refuelling complex.
