Shell Opens Citrus Heights Hydrogen Station

January 15th, 2019 by Fiedler Group

As reported by California Fuel Cell Partnership, Shell Oil® working in partnership with the California Energy Commission, is in the midst of a seven-station development program in Northern California.

These first-of-their-kind stations will bring the latest in Hydrogen Fueling Technology to excited owners of Fuel Cell powered vehicles in the Sacramento and Bay areas. The first of these stations to open to the public is in Citrus Heights, far ahead of schedule. We are excited to be a part of this great development for the State of California.

This Sacramento area project represents the fifth facility that Fiedler Group has designed, permitted, and managed construction for Shell. Featuring two fully independent Hydrogen fuel dispensers, this facility can fuel passenger vehicles with some of the most advanced technology available today. The dispensers are positioned under the existing gasoline canopy, providing a seamless and convenient availability of fuel to customers. Equipment and critical technology is provided by NEL Hydrogen®, partnered with an exceptional customer experience we have come to expect from Shell.

Fiedler Group obtained permits and completed construction on this facility far ahead of the original twenty-month timeframe established by the California Energy Commission. Only twelve months were necessary from initial permit submittal to completion of construction.

Construction of this new hydrogen fuel station was provided by Fastech Inc. headquartered in Buena Park, California

Fiedler Group was responsible for the site design and system integration, station permitting, and  project management, for all four Shell demonstration stations – including the first integrated gasoline/hydrogen station in California (West Los Angeles), and more recently equipment upgrade of hydrogen pipeline fed facility in Torrance that is supplied by a hydrogen pipeline.
