Hydrogen refueling station launches
Bulgaria's first hydrogen vehicle refueling station opened today in Sofia's Druzhba district. Currently, there is only one car in Bulgaria that uses this type of fuel, and it is owned by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. However, the station can be used by foreigners passing through the country with hydrogen cars.
The station charges at the two standard pressures for compressed hydrogen - 350 and 700 bar. Hydrogen comes via two sources - the station produces it itself (8.5 kilograms per day) with renewable energy from the photovoltaic park, and it can also be charged from bottles. The station collects about 70 kilograms of hydrogen, enough to charge 10-15 cars or two buses every day.
