Description
LCI of basic hydrogen fueling station for 850 kg/d based on (Burkhardt et al., 2016). Utilization factor of 70%, so demand is 595 kg H2/day. Assumed lifetime of 40 years. Two tanks of 125 kg of H2 storage capacity are needed within this lifetime.

Parameters
Read-only definitions preserved with this inventory version. Values are supplied by the source; CLIC does not evaluate formulas or recalculate exchange amounts and impact scores from them.
No parameter definitions were supplied with this inventory snapshot.
