Title: The LAX Airport Hydrogen Fueling Station: Lessons Learned


1
The LAX Airport Hydrogen Fueling Station
Lessons Learned
  • Jonathan Weinert
  • Hydrogen Pathways Program
  • UC Davis
  • April 27, 2004

2
Introduction
  • The Problem
  • True station costs not well-understood
  • Lack of knowledge transfer between station
    projects
  • Research Motivation
  • Hydrogen Pathways Program ITS-Davis
  • Developing cost models for H2 infrastructure
  • Result SCAQMD Internship for LAX case study

3
Disclaimer
  • The following presentation is based on my own
    personal observations and interpretations. These
    are in no way tied to the views and opinions of
    the partners involved in this project.

4
Purpose
  • General understanding of the LAX station
  • What has been learned from this experience (so
    far)?
  • How do lessons apply to future hydrogen
    demonstration projects?

5
Structure
  • 1. Technical Details
  • 2. Station History
  • 3. Economics
  • 4. Obstacles Lessons

6
The Project Partners(and their roles)
(Project Management, Hydrogen Equipment, Systems
integration)
(Site Control, retail facility construction,
permitting)
(Real estate)

OBSTACLES LESSONS
18
Lesson 1 Contracts Are Critical
19
Lesson 1 Contracts Are Critical
  • WHY? Major time delays caused by contract
    disagreements
  • OBSTACLE Liability ? no lease agreement 8
    month delay
  • Whats unique about H2 station projects?
  • Uncharted Territory RISK
  • - Few precedents, Mixed perception, Few rules
  • 2. Several partners funding sources
  • - Complex, hard to satisfy each partner
  • 3. Long duration -gt employee turnover
  • - Contracts help new employees carry the baton
    forward
  • Recommendation
  • Clearly define who does what, , liability
  • Develop Rules partners can base contracts on,
    contract templates

Lesson 2 Champions are Crucial
21
Lesson 2 Champions are Crucial
  • Why? Where they go, the organization follows.
  • OBSTACLE LAWA lost Champion midstream
  • Whats unique about H2 station projects
  • Uncharted territory, no clearly defined rules
    yet,
  • Need leadership willing to take risk, accept
    responsibility
  • Recommendation
  • Choose partners w/ high-level champions
  • Create champions supporters

22
Lesson 3 Educate Engage Local Authorities
23
Lesson 3 Educate Engage Local Authorities
  • WHO Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)
  • e.g. Fire Marshals, City Council
  • WHY They can make or break project (or at least
    cause long delays)
  • Whats unique about H2 station projects
  • Lack of Codes, Standards, Regulations
  • Recommendation
  • Educate engage early often
  • Develop common set of rules

24
Conclusions
  • LAX Lesson Recap
  • THE BIG LESSONS
  • 1. Codes, Standards, Regulations Needed!!
  • 2. There are hidden costs to hydrogen stations.
    (Ex liability? insurance, legal, EE)
  • 3. Demonstrations have unique learning value
