Abstract
An integrated hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen comprising an electrochemical compressor in which secondary hydrogen originating from leakage, boiling-off or venting of hydrogen-containing gas in one or more mechanical hydrogen compressors is collected and transferred to the electrochemical compressor and compressed by the electrochemical compressor, wherein the secondary hydrogen contains hydrogen and further gaseous components. A method for operating a hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen wherein secondary hydrogen originating from leakage, boiling-off or venting of hydrogen-containing gas in one or more mechanical hydrogen compressors of the fueling station operative units is collected and transferred to an electrochemical compressor and compressed in the electrochemical compressor, and wherein the secondary hydrogen contains hydrogen and further gaseous components.
