Chevron orders four BayoTech HyFill hydrogen energy transport trailers

BayoTech has received orders for four HyFill™ hydrogen transport trailers from Chevron that will use BayoTech’s transport trailers to distribute high-pressure gaseous hydrogen for power generation, transportation and industrial applications in the western United States.

Delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.

“With record demand for molecular hydrogen, industrial gas suppliers are seeking solutions to safely and efficiently distribute large quantities of hydrogen in compact packages,” said Adam Penque, senior Vice President of Sales, BayoGaaS™ Hydrogen Center.

Since 2001, BayoTech has delivered more than 600 high-pressure transportation and storage systems to the world’s leading industrial gas manufacturers and distributors for hydrogen, natural gas, nitrogen and helium applications. There’s a wind turbine blade transport trailer.

HyFill™ Bulk hydrogen hauler trailers use high-capacity Type III composite gas cylinders that deliver three times more compressed gaseous hydrogen per load than conventional steel tube trailers. Higher payloads reduce transportation costs and increase driver productivity.

Chris Granger has been appointed Senior Vice President of Operations, having previously served at Linde as Vice President of Linde Gases. At BayoTech, Granger will manage and develop the operations team to support the nationwide rollout of BayoTech’s distributed BayoGaaS network of hydrogen energy centers and oversee hydrogen production equipment manufacturing, site construction and control center management.

Brightmark RNG Holdings recently delivered the first batch of natural gas at its Athena project in Minnehaha County, South Dakota. The project includes three Farms in Minnehaha County — Boadwine Farms, Pioneer Dairy and Mooody Dairy — and is part of a previously announced partnership that will own project companies in the United States, Dairy biomethane to produce and market renewable natural gas (RNG).

Methane from Project Athena’s manure is expected to be captured, cleaned and turned into RNG that can be used for transport, cooking or electricity. Gas is expected to be pumped into the local interstate pipeline system across the state.

Bob Powell, founder and CEO of Brightmark, said, “As Brightmark continues to expand and expand our RNG production footprint across the country, the acquisition of the first gas from the Athena project marks another important milestone. We believe the Athena project further demonstrates the transformative economic and environmental benefits of working with our nation’s key farmers to reduce and offset life-cycle carbon emissions.”
