All right, I believe we're live. Hi everyone, and welcome to this month's episode of Green Hydrogen with Plug. My name's Meryl, and I'll be your moderator for today's session. In today's episode, we're diving into hydrogen mobility fueling solutions as we look at various mobility applications and highlight Plug's portable refueler. I'm very excited to introduce today's speakers, who both joined Plug in 2021 through the acquisition of Applied Cryo Technologies, adding significant capabilities and expertise to Plug's liquid hydrogen and hydrogen mobility fueling businesses. Our first speaker today is Tim Lowrey, the Director of Sales at Plug Power. Tim has over two decades of experience in driving product portfolio expansion across various sectors such as energy, technology, manufacturing, and cryogenic gases. Prior to joining Plug, Tim served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Applied Cryo Technologies, where he specialized in providing customized solutions to store and transport cryogenic liquids. Tim graduated from Texas Tech University, holding a degree in telecommunications with a minor in marketing. He's widely recognized for his relentless dedication and forward-thinking. Tim co-founded Applied Cryo Technologies in 2012, a venture that significantly marked his career, culminating in its acquisition by Plug Power in November 2021. Our second speaker today is Adam Van D e Mortel, Sales Engineering Manager at Plug. In 2005, Adam began work in the UAV development programs before pursuing work as a sales engineer in 2007, designing and selling cryogenic vaporizer solutions, which led him to joining the Applied Cryo Technologies team in 2015. Adam joined Plug when ACT became part of the Plug family in late 2021 as the Plug Cryo Technologies group, serving all cryogenic equipment manufacturing needs for the organization. Having collaborated with the Plug Cryo team for over a decade, Adam and his team have developed a leading role in pioneering breakthrough technology in energy transition markets for driving adoption of alternative fuels to support the increasingly stringent emissions reduction efforts for mobility, power, and industry. Adam is a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona with a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and was inspired to pursue a career in energy transition after seeing the shortcomings of petroleum fuels as well as challenges involved in reducing emissions and meeting the world's climate goals. Before I hand it over to our speakers today, I just wanted to let you know that we have reserved time at the end of today's webinar to answer your questions. The Q&A box can be found directly under our speaker videos in the top left corner, and then underneath the Q&A box is a few links that have related content to today's presentation. Lastly, on the right side, you can find Tim and Adam's bio along with a post-event survey. With that, I'll hand it over to our speakers to start today's session. Yeah, thank you, Meryl, and thanks to our audience today. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. I know we've got some audience members all around the world, so we appreciate you guys carving out some time today. We're excited about this discussion, and we really appreciate it. Yeah, hello everyone, and thank you, Meryl, for the introduction. It's a pleasure to be here today, and we're excited to talk about hydrogen mobility fueling solutions we've developed at Plug. Decarbonizing the mobility sector will need hydrogen in the mix, so we went to work on developing solutions in the space to help drive adoption of hydrogen fuel. I myself have a long history in product development and spent the last 10+ years working with Tim and the team here in Houston to develop and deliver solutions for energy transition. So with that, we hope you enjoy the presentation, and we'll have the Q&A at the end. Yeah, and Adam and I will be kind of bouncing back and forth with each other here as we go through the presentation. To begin, Plug has the most operational experience in the emerging hydrogen industry. Today, you can look at the various verticals in the distribution and material handling sectors of some of our customer base. We have over 1 billion hours of operation, and we're dispensing over 40 tons of hydrogen per day to over 200 private fueling stations. Yeah, Plug is an incredible organization tackling green hydrogen adoption. As you can see, we're reaching many markets to decarbonize industry and have a tremendous amount of experience and expertise from producing hydrogen to using hydrogen. Plug is involved at every step in the value chain. Absolutely. In this presentation, we'll be discussing why hydrogen is the best option when it comes to a zero-carbon solution. We're also going to discuss why Plug's liquid hydrogen portable refueler is an innovative solution that makes hydrogen adoption easier, smart, and sustainable. We'll also discuss how Plug Power is taking an ecosystem approach towards its business model to create a comprehensive and integrated hydrogen economy that supports clean energy solutions across multiple applications. Yeah, emissions reduction for mobility is historically a hard-to-abate industry sector, so hydrogen will play such a pivotal role in the energy transition for mobility, as you will see going through the presentation. So why hydrogen? Why is hydrogen the best-fit carbon solution for mobility applications? It has several key attributes that make it uniquely suitable. One is it has a high energy content, which is especially beneficial for applications in transportation and industrial processes. It has zero emissions at the point of use, and it's extremely versatile, so it can be used across various sectors: cars, trains, buses, and even ships and planes. Yeah, hydrogen is abundant. It can be renewably produced, and it allows a means of energy capture and storage as well wherever capacity exists. So when you talk about renewables, the wind doesn't always blow, the sun doesn't always shine. There are peaks and valleys in the supply side of that as well as the demand side. So hydrogen really serves as a buffer for aligning these peaks and valleys to be able to capture and store and utilize that energy. And mobility is a particularly ideal application because where you have a concentrated need for energy delivery to ultimately power electric vehicles, there are no bottlenecks in the process when compared to charging batteries, which relies on the local electric grid. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are not susceptible to those factors, and they also have a very low raw materials requirement when compared to mining lithium and cobalt for battery electric vehicles. Yeah, great points, Adam. And so we've answered why hydrogen and now why choose liquid hydrogen for delivery. And the answer really comes down to the increased density of liquid hydrogen versus gaseous hydrogen. So what this leads to is a lower cost of transportation and a lower cost of infrastructure at the end user site on a dollar per kilogram basis of stored hydrogen. So a rough example of this you see illustrated there in the top right, it takes approximately eight gas high-pressure tube trailers to deliver the same amount of hydrogen as one liquid cryogenic hydrogen trailer. So as the hydrogen economy continues to grow and evolve, LH2 is critically economical and, to the point, a space-saving form. Yeah, of course. Not only does it reduce the logistics of delivery. Adam, do you have anything to add on that before I move on? Yeah, the on-site storage as well is reduced in footprint. In deliveries, you get around 60 MWh of energy per load. It's in low-pressure liquid form. And also part of the reason for fast fueling in that we're pumping in cryogenic liquid form, which is very mechanically efficient to compressing gas. It's about 10x more energy efficient to pump liquid. And this was really pioneered in previous years through LCNG stations, where compressed natural gas was a fuel that companies were using for energy transition to decarbonize their fleets. You have a cryogenic liquid storage tank. You have a cryogenic liquid pump that's increasing the pressure and producing flow through a cryogenic vaporizer and ultimately delivering high-pressure gas to the point of dispensing. Yeah, I know you're excited to get into the refueler portion here, but first, just to touch on applications. There's a variety of applications that are being pioneered right now, but as we look at the different markets that really rely on liquid hydrogen, we have our traditional material handling markets where we're actually transporting, delivering, and storing the liquid hydrogen on-site outside of these large distribution centers. We see a similar model really playing out in stationary power and commercial transportation, where we'll be transporting and storing liquid hydrogen on-site to fuel these fleets in vans and semi-trailers. As we look towards the future, we have heavy-duty industries coming online. These are things like Class 8 trucks, which we'll touch on, ships, rail, and mining applications as well. These are applications that require liquid hydrogen onboard the vehicle to get the required energy density for widespread commercial adoptions. We see demand for liquid hydrogen overall increasing over the next several years as these industrial applications come online. Yeah, hydrogen is essential in energy transition for mobility. It's making headlines with many pilot projects, and I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, I think Plug agrees and most of the people in the audience. So hydrogen adoption for commercial transportation, it really does depend on hydrogen to decarbonize. And Adam's going to touch on some challenges here that the industry faces. But you've got really two main points, I'll say, high level. One is the fixed infrastructure. These fleets switching to fuel cell electric vehicles are dependent on having a strong refueling infrastructure, and Plug is playing a major role in that with their liquefaction plants as well. And then you have really having to commit to building these fixed refueling stations is highly resource-intensive. When many of our customers beginning these pilot programs, they're developing that market, so they're developing the customers. So with that, I'll punt to Adam to give the highlights and walk us through the refueler as a product and how it all comes together. Yeah, thank you. So developing bridge solutions. Smart and sustainable. Adam? Sorry. Yeah, developing bridge solutions with internal equipment packages is crucial to get the ball rolling. It really helps to drive adoption in our experience, making hydrogen an excellent zero-emission fuel alternative. Yeah, and Adam, I'm having a little bit of video difficulty. Can you hear me okay? Yes, hopefully you can hear me, and we can also. Okay, I'll just. Phrase in the chat if needed. I can. No, you sound. Yeah, no, you sound amazing, but I'll keep my video off just so I can keep the audio going. Hopefully that'll resolve the issue. So the solution we developed, I'll give you an overview of the major components to kind of talk through a high-level summary of points here. This is a self-contained cryogenic dispensing system on a trailer. It's transportable. It's easily relocated to other sites, leaving no stranded assets. If a pilot project is something that is pursued in a temporary situation and the client decides to move on to something else, it can be easily redeployed. And it also allows convenient refueling of hydrogen-powered vehicles. This can be delivered anywhere very quickly and deployed in a number of days, depending on the customer's particular application. So it's really an optimal solution for pilot projects and small fleets where clients are looking to convert a portion of their fleet to beta test hydrogen adoption as a fuel alternative. So going through the overview of the system, you have a cryogenic liquid storage tank. That That feeds to a cryogenic liquid pump, which then flows product and increases pressure through a cryogenic vaporizer, ultimately delivering high-pressure gas to the hydrogen dispenser. There's also a temperature control loop of our proprietary design to allow temperature control of that gas to meet the SAE J2601 fueling protocol standard. You have a number of safety features, including emergency stop, remote emergency stop capability, grounding capability, various sensors for flaming gas detection that would shut down the process in a safe manner. And ultimately, the development of this product was done with a large focus on safety. So we've essentially taken our experience and knowledge from our traditional hydrogen refueling system and condensed the footprint to a custom drop-deck trailer with a smaller liquid hydrogen tank. We've gone through a thorough process hazard analysis, design qualification and testing involving multiple third parties, electrical panel certification, declaration of compliance, as well as getting the Center for Hydrogen Safety involved and producing a Hydrogen Safety Panel report to get just a number of different entities involved in our due diligence. Going back to the earlier slideshow, Plug's experience and project portfolio, the number of projects and installations is really a testament to our expertise in this regard. So it's really, I mean, just a high level, this is kind of a starter's kit for our customers in their pilot programs. It's a filling station on wheels. Would that be kind of maybe a very simple description, Adam? Yeah, absolutely. This ultimately is geared towards allowing the customer speed to market, ease of adoption for beta testing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Permanent infrastructure is going to be far more complex and costly. There are things to consider when you're looking at an interim solution with a bridge solution like this. You're basically limited to the confines of a trailer in terms of the space that's available. So we really focused on the essential needs of this system to be able to perform as intended. Maybe touch on, Adam, for the audience, we have many strengths within Plug and then within our group, but how the controls and programming process comes into dialing in the operation for our customers. Yeah, that's an interesting point. It's really been a collaborative effort between our controls departments, the dispenser folks, the dispenser OEMs, as well as the fuel cell electric vehicle OEMs as well. There are a lot of collaborative discussions in coordinating our strategies to ensure a safe and reliable fueling experience. From our scope, we have a control system with a PLC that is governing operation of the tank, the liquid pump, various actuated valves and controls on our system. We're monitoring everything on the trailer, where all the process equipment is, including having various detectors in place and emergency stop buttons that actually interface with the rest of the system. We are essentially providing high-pressure gas up to the point of the dispenser. Then the dispenser itself actually functions as the last layer of protection for the vehicle fuel tank. So the dispenser actually is what governs and meters and regulates the flow out to the fuel cell electric vehicle or the hydrogen-powered vehicle. So it really is the last line of defense and has its own PLC that has programming in it that's tailored for the fueling operation that it's intended. A couple of questions for you. I'm sure some of our audience might want to know if in this particular product support liquid supply delivery as well as gas supply delivery? Yeah, so delivering liquid to the site, it does have that capability. It can be filled at a plant, and it can transport payload. It does have DOT certification as well as ASME Section VIII Division 1. So the liquid tank can be used to transport liquid to the site. In many cases, the customers elect to receive the unit either inerted or with a hydrogen blanket and essentially no liquid product on board. They then set it up as a temporary fueling station in a semi-permanent fashion, where the only liquid being delivered to the site will come in the form of liquid deliveries from cryogenic transport trailers. So it would just receive a delivery, which obviously it has capability to receive deliveries on site as well. And then the dispense application is always going to be a high-pressure gas. Okay, thank you for clarifying that. For the audience's benefit, can you touch on the advantages of having a liquid tank on board and building pressure and what that process looks like through vaporization versus a compressed gas solution? Yeah, absolutely. So when you're pumping liquid, a cryogenic liquid pump is a far more mechanically efficient means of building pressure and flow versus compressing gas. So if you were receiving deliveries in the form of high-pressure gas tube trailers, you would essentially need to boost that pressure with a compressor to reach the volume and pressures needed for on-site storage, which would also require greater footprint, as well as far more energy to actually compress that up to the pressures needed to fuel a dispense operation. So the cryogenic liquid pump is really the key driver for this equipment package in providing a high-pressure gas stream in a compact equipment package that can deliver high pressures and high flows. Got it. Thank you, Adam. Going through the rest of the specs here around the unit, it has different dispensing pressure designs for different vehicle applications. You have the 350 Bar or H35 dispensing, as well as 700 Bar or H70 dispensing. These two strategies are kind of dependent on what the customer vehicle fleet is intended. In some cases, they want a more flexible asset that has a variety of different vehicles that can be fueled, whether there's some cars. In some cases, it's strictly municipal bus fleet transit authorities with a particular constant vehicle platform that they're fueling. And there's different fueling protocols that govern this. Essentially, SAE J2601 is the fueling protocol followed. When you're fueling, having the liquid hydrogen is really key to being able to facilitate these different dispense pressures because that's a commonality among both designs. Having that low-pressure liquid hydrogen storage tank to feed a 350 bar application versus 700 bar application, you're really just talking about some slight differences in the pump design from one to the other, as well as the dispenser itself. Potentially going forward, we could potentially homogenize those and offer dual pressure dispensing. Having that liquid payload, you also have a greater volume and mass on board. 6,500 gallons approximate storage is almost 1,600 kg. With that high flow rate of up to 3.6 kg a minute, you're talking about 5- to 10-minute fueling duration for those vehicles. Really, the output temperature, which is governed by our temperature control loop, is going to have to be between -40 degrees Celsius and -17.5 degrees Celsius to be able to meet that standard. So there are different versions of the standard that are in different phases of being released. There’s J2601-5, which is essentially an improved standard that is being proposed for heavy-duty vehicle fueling. And it’s a work in progress. But they’re adding nomenclature to kind of demystify and make more clear what those standards are so that we can have improved standards for fueling hydrogen vehicles moving forward. And I guess just touching on those few other points again, it’s low infrastructure cost, having the portable application. You’re not having to do geotechnical design and civil structural work to roll out a portable asset. It also provides speed to market because it can be placed on site and operational within a couple of days. Yeah, sorry to cut you out there. Thanks for clarifying those last two points. When we talk about barriers to entry and removing those barriers to entry to help develop this market, I know we've talked throughout the presentation on, it's about a third of the cost of building a permanent station. It allows, I know from my own end, talking to our customers and prospects, the ability to have the portable solution and have these, like I said earlier, a starter kit for these pilot programs and really begin to develop those customers and grow those customers. It gives them a better idea long-term where those fixed stations need to be built as they develop out their customer base. Yeah, absolutely. You mentioned earlier, sorry to cut you off, but kind of the similar fueling times as, dare I say, the diesel experience. I think that's a huge point for the drivers, the actual drivers out there that they want something that's familiar to them. And when you compare it against battery electric vehicles, the recharging time is far longer than what we're offering the market with this particular product. Yeah, definitely. Providing an experience that's similar to what customers and clients are familiar with on diesel and gasoline vehicle fueling is really essential in highlighting the benefit of hydrogen as an alternative fuel, the ease of transition, the similar fueling times, even the experience of handling the nozzle and fueling the vehicle. Everything is very, very similar in terms of the interface with the dispenser itself and the overall user experience. Thanks, Adam. So when we talk about Plug's expertise through our many projects and trusted customers, one thing I've learned within Plug, and it was very similar when we were still under the ACT name, we believe in partnerships. We really do. And that word means something to Plug. And customers can be partners or suppliers can be partners. It really does take a true strategic partnership to help develop this market. And Plug has made strategic acquisitions as they did with ACT. And just to name a few, you've got the Joule Processing guys that we can touch on here in a moment. But with ACT, we were founded in 2012. And we're essentially a group of industry experts. And our forte is design optimization. Adam highlighted our portable refueler, which, as I mentioned, is basically a startup kit for customers looking to do fuel cell vehicle transit companies, Class 7 and Class 8 customers for their pilot programs. They can utilize that portable refueler as a bridge to develop their customer base. A key differentiating factor for ACT is our ability to offer superior payloads, which we touched on and I'll highlight again here in a minute, while optimizing equipment that reduces the cost of ownership and increases the net earnings for our customers. Every cryogenic trailer model that we've developed, it fits one of two criteria. It's either an improvement to what exists, or it's a design that didn't exist. For example, Plug's liquid hydrogen cryogenic transport trailer, which we use for our internal demand as well as we sell to third parties, it's actually the lightest liquid hydrogen trailer on the market. It has the largest volumetric capacity. That results in unmatched payloads, so almost 10,000 pounds of liquid hydrogen. Yeah, ACT is really a collection of industry experts. We are industry leaders in portable, cryogenic storage, vaporization, and pumping equipment. So we've been doing this for over 10 years. And it was really a natural fit for our expertise. Yeah, when you say that, kind of going off script here, but you said storage, vaporization, and distribution equipment. And as I look at the rendering of the portable refueler, it's all right there in one package. So we have extensive experience in numerous different projects for cryogenic pumping applications, not just within hydrogen, but other applications as well. So how does that all fit into Plug's green hydrogen ecosystem? I mentioned another acquisition there with Joule Processing where they design and fabricate the liquefaction plants. Even a couple of years before that, the acquisition of United Hydrogen, ultimately the acquisition of ACT as well, they've become a vertically integrated company, which really gives us an edge in many different aspects of the hydrogen market. We have this entire ecosystem that Plug can provide. I saw one question, what differentiates us from our competitors? There are so many things. But I would say that's probably the biggest one. When you look at essentially, we have the technology, the deployment, the infrastructure in place to support the entire supply chain, from hydrogen liquefaction to the storage and delivery assets to the delivery of the fuel itself, which is a key, key piece. Adam, do you want to add anything to that? Yeah, absolutely. It's definitely been a great fit us joining into the Plug value chain, from storing and handling hydrogen to dispensing. Clearly, we're bridging that link in the chain and helping drive hydrogen adoption for mobility applications. So this product is really the culmination of that. And really, driving use of hydrogen is what Plug built, this company starting out, and allowed us to build out the rest of the value chain. So as we drive more adoption and use applications, we can increase the amount of production that's needed to meet that demand. So that really brings it full circle for us. I think standardization is a key word that we talk about a lot between all the different groups within Plug that have come under the Plug family. Standardization is how we're going to get the cost down overall. I was talking with Ben Victor last week over at the Joule building. And they were talking about at one point, it was 15 tons per day of liquefaction capacity. Then it was 30, and then 45. Don't be surprised if they're talking 100 tons per day of liquefaction capacity. So standardization is a key focus within our product portfolio today and in the coming years as well. So just to highlight Plug's hydrogen generation network, and Adam talked about driving end-use applications, obviously, liquid supply plays a key role in that upstream. We have a goal to be at 1,000 tons per day by 2028. You see some plants that are being developed throughout the country. So, and with Plug and Adam, jump in where you'd like to hear. There's only one company that's vertically integrated like Plug is within this sector. We have the experience and the technology. We're the only company to really provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution. We're the world's leading liquid hydrogen buyer and supplier. Of course, unparalleled customer service. We're really on the tip of the spear in developing this market. That obviously produces a lot of lessons learned, which only adds value to the process as a whole. Yeah, Plug really is incredible in having built out the complete turnkey scope of services and goods for hydrogen, from producing the molecule, liquefying it, storing and transporting to end-use applications in the future. From what we're starting to see today, additional applications in the mobility market, there are ongoing pilot projects for a number of different applications in mobility. Plug is involved in that as well. We hit a few points there. Obviously, a huge market opportunity, unmatched market knowledge because we are on the tip of that spear, unmatched products as we've developed out that product portfolio and continue to do so. We have unmatched infrastructure and obviously, a ton of customer feedback because Plug's been doing this for a long, long time. You don't know where you're going unless you know where you've been. We have a very clear vision of our future. Yeah, and I appreciate the capacity of the organization to offer as much or as little of that entire hydrogen ecosystem as the clients are interested to work with us on. So if you're interested in sourcing hydrogen, or if you're interested in sourcing equipment, if you're interested in leasing for a pilot project, whatever the case may be, Plug has a solution in place that can fill the need to bridge those gaps and really help drive adoption of hydrogen for energy transition. OK, with. Q&A session. Great. Thank you both very much. I know we have a very active and busy Q&A session. We'll jump right in. First question today, is it correct that no on-site mechanical refrigeration of the hydrogen is required during fueling of the vehicle? Yeah, I can take that. Can you repeat it? You had cut out just a little bit. I think I heard it. But can you read that one more time, please? Yep, no problem. Is it correct that no on-site mechanical refrigeration of the hydrogen is required during fueling of the vehicle? Yep, that's correct. So these are cryogenic vessels, which are double-walled, vacuum insulated. So you're really just protecting the temperature of the liquid, so to speak. You do introduce heat when you run the unit, which is typical of a cryogenic system. But there's no mechanical refrigeration process involved. Perfect. Thanks, Tim. Next question, what energy sources are you using to make and process the hydrogen? Wind, solar, hydro, or are you producing the electricity using one of your own fuel cells? So regarding the production, it's not actually occurring at the point of use for the refueling applications. Obviously, Plug has various liquefiers on the map, as shown, where there are hydrogen production sites that utilize either electrolytic hydrogen that's produced by our electrolyzers, which is essentially taking water molecules and splitting that with electricity to create hydrogen gas and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. In other cases, there is hydrogen that is being produced with other technologies. But the focus for Plug is green hydrogen. And that's really what the plants that we're offering to the market are intended. Perfect. Thanks, Adam. Next question, can both dispensers operate at the same time? Are both dispensers delivering gas at the same pressure? So currently, we only have dispensers for one pressure class or the other. It is part of potentially our product roadmap to develop a dual-pressure capable dispenser and have a dual-pressure capable unit. However, I don't think that it would be a simultaneous operation. I think you would be either fueling at one pressure or the other due to the nature of maintaining system pressures. But that's yet to be determined. Awesome. Thank you. Next question, can the system support both liquid hydrogen delivery or gaseous hydrogen, depending on which form is required by the products in use? Yes, it is versatile in that way. It can deliver liquid as well as gas, high-pressure gas. So it does have the capability to haul and transport liquid over the road. However, because it's a relatively small liquid hydrogen tank, the general feedback that we get from customers is that the preference would be to use this in a portable fashion where they're essentially maintaining this asset at a fixed location and then refilling it on site with a liquid transport trailer. As Tim mentioned earlier, our liquid hydrogen transport trailer design is the lightest, highest payload trailer on the market. So that's really the objective when you're looking at the logistics of moving hydrogen around is optimizing payload to reduce logistical movements. Perfect. Thanks, Adam. Next question, dispensing is H35 and H70? What's the flow rate capabilities? Hence, what's the back-to-back HD refueling ability? Currently, the limiting factor is really the dispenser and the programming that's put into that. As these pilot projects are starting to be beta tested, we're starting to learn more about moving to higher fueling rates. Currently, 3.6 kg a minute is the peak flow that the J2601 standard will allow. Using the communication fill versus non-communication fill MC formula method for filling, which is basically a dynamic fueling process for the pressure ramp rate, those are still being developed as far as what the max flow rates can be. Again, as I said before, there is a new standard that's a work in progress. It's a draft form right now using the J2601-5. That would ultimately allow a more standardized, higher flow capability. But it is not yet released in a finalized form. Great. Thank you. And then filling of the liquid hydrogen storage tank, is that with or without a pump? That's without. Yeah, that would be just a pressure transfer operation from the delivery trailer into the onboard liquid hydrogen storage tank. Great. Thank you. Next question, how I feel like you guys touched on this a little bit. But can you talk a little bit about how Plug differentiates from the competition? Yeah, I mean, Tim alluded to this. Maybe he can elaborate. Really, Plug is an end-to-end solutions provider. We're vertically integrated. That really does set us apart, aside from the number of installations that we do have with hydrogen pads for our existing customer base. Just to add to that and what that really equates to in experience. Being able to really kind of guide our customers into different solutions is huge in the early stages of this market, and huge with a lot of the times, the customer doesn't know exactly what they need. Just for us to be able to really pull on that experience and that historical resume is key in communicating the best solution for the customer. Great. Thank you both. Next question, is there special training required to operate the refueler? Or can driver refuel on his/her own? Yeah, the training is very simplistic for the actual vehicle fueling itself. There's some considerations that any client should make for safety. And really, that's in large part up to them. We do have generally a pre-startup safety review process that we would go through for any new installation. So Plug has a robust service team and resources to manage the preventive maintenance and actual operation of the system as far as support services and providing any training that the customer is going to be involved with. But as far as the actual dispense application, it is really as simple as anybody that's going to a gas station now, right? The dispenser operation, you're essentially pushing a button and moving the nozzle to connect to a vehicle. So that is an extremely straightforward process. So other than that, obviously, refilling the cryogenic liquid tank, the logistics of bringing liquid to the site, that's all services that Plug can handle in-house. So we do offer that. In some cases, customers want to have a little more involvement with the system, at which point there would be more operational training involved in them taking custody of certain portions of the operation. Just to kind of clarify that, operationally, with our customer, tons of support there, tons of training there. For our customer's customer, the driver, they fuel their own truck. Very straightforward process, as Adam mentioned. Awesome. Thank you both. Somewhat related question, being cryogenic, are there safety protocols different from LNG for dispensing? For dispensing, no, not really. For LNG, that is a cryogenic liquid. You would have a face shield and gloves for PPE, necessary personal protective equipment. But when you're dealing with a high-pressure gas, it's really more like a CNG fueling operation, which is warm, high-pressure gas. Once you make the connection from the nozzle to the receptacle, there's no exposure to high pressures or temperatures that the user is experiencing. So LNG is going to be actually more stringent from a dispense application because you would typically require more PPE. Great. Thank you. How much power is required from the customer to operate the infrastructure? It ranges from about 100-125 kW, depending on the model purchased or being used. For the 700-bar application, there's a little more electricity involved. There's an additional booster pump to raise that final discharge pressure to the 700-bar fueling. That would be the higher requirement. Then the 350-bar is closer to 100 kW. Thank you. How do you control or regulate the dispensing pressure? That is controlled by the dispenser itself. It has a flow control valve and sensors and control system within itself that is essentially limiting the pressure ramp rate into the vehicle fuel tanks. That is driven by the SAE fueling protocol standards. They have to meet those pressure ramp rates at the fueling speeds that we're delivering. Thank you, Adam. From logistics point, what is max distance from hydrogen storage to a hydrogen mobility fueling station? That's one part of the question. So we'll do that first. And then there's a second part. So regarding reasonable distance for delivering fuel, I mean, that's really centered around the liquid delivery, right? So I mean, I think roughly a 500-mile radius is generally what we would consider reasonable for the liquid deliveries. Great. Thank you. And then second part of that question is, what are external utility requirements for the mobile application? That's a great question. It is really just the electricity. And then for some actuated valves that utilize pneumatic source, really, the preferred method would be nitrogen, dry nitrogen. Plug does offer a solution for that. It's very low consumption. There's also a purge on the cryogenic pump that is in the motor of the pump. So that would be preferred to be a nitrogen source. We are exploring pneumatic air supply, which is used in other applications. But our preference is really the nitrogen because the consumption is very minimal. Thank you. What have you seen as an average tank size for these vehicles? So I think about 25kg-40 kg is sort of the range that we're typically seeing for fills. So that would be for a transit bus or for Class 8 trucks. I'm sure for passenger vehicles, it would be a smaller volume. But we haven't really gotten into those particular applications with this equipment. Great. Thank you. Next question, what is the likely storage capacity time if no refrigeration is required? So essentially, the boil-off rate for the tank, our tank design has 0.73% per day boil-off rate. In addition to that, you do have some initial cooldown. And really, this product is geared towards providing a bridge solution, right? So speed to market, ease of adoption. When you're fueling a pilot fleet of vehicles, it's best to group those together in a back-to-back fueling configuration so that you're minimizing the amount of cooldown that is needed on the front end. Because when you're going to start a fueling window, you're going to have to cool down all of the metal mass between the cryogenic pump and the dispenser circuit or really up to the vaporizer. So up to that point, you have piping, controls, the pump itself. And cooling all of that down can take some time on the front end. In the current configuration, you are essentially venting to cool all of that down. But once you are able to start the process, there's little to no venting occurring. You're basically able to utilize the remaining payload of liquid to do fueling in a back-to-back scenario. Great. Thank you. As a refueling station developer, does Plug look for partnerships in growing the hydrogen refueling station infrastructure? Yeah, I'll take that. Plug is a what's that? Yeah, I mean, Plug is a we're big believers in partnerships. So I'd say they're open-minded in that regard as a general statement. Perfect. Thank you, Tim. Next question, how could advances in hydrogen refueling technology affect demand for liquid green hydrogen amid a wave of refueling station closures? Yeah, I think it would provide a benefit there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're factory produced. We do have backlog to make this product available to the market in short supply. That's the point behind the portable refueler, is that a lot of these fixed stations, maybe they should have been built in a different location. The portable refueler really allows you to dial in where the customer base is going to be. Then as our customers develop out their customer base, that grows demand. Then that's when the more long-term fixed stations come in, in my opinion. Great. Thank you both. In the current transit bus design, how many buses are fueled before needing to fuel the mobile refueler tank? Yeah, it would be a fairly large quantity. So assuming you were fueling up to 25kg-40 kg per bus, I mean, that's probably about 25-30 buses before you're really going to deplete the usable liquid inventory of the tank. Perfect. Thank you. What do we have here? All right. We'll do two more questions here. Do you expect the same liquid hydrogen infrastructure in Europe as it or will be in the U.S.? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think that's definitely part of the product roadmap. I think really aligning the codes and standards for overseas applications is the main challenge when you come to European markets or Asian markets. Obviously, we're doing work in South Korea. So that's really the primary hurdle in bringing products to those markets. But obviously, we are close to the Port of Houston here where we manufacture this equipment. So delivering equipment worldwide is entirely within the realm of possibility. And I would say definitely part of the product roadmap, considering the objectives and mandates in Europe to meet climate goals that are in place. Yeah. And just to add to that, I think availability of liquid capacity will drive what types of products are needed, whether it be for a liquid hydrogen transport trailer compared to an LH2 ISO container, just depending on where the liquid would be getting delivered and to which country would drive that as well. Awesome. Thank you both. I think that brought us right to the end. A huge thank you to Tim and Adam, our speakers today, and to all of you that joined us. I will hand it back to you two to close out. Thank you very much. So yeah, I just wanted to say thank you once again for everyone joining today. We appreciated all of the questions.
