Welcome toBoulder City Nevada
EDSGN 100Hydrogen Fuel City
Group 5Stephen Ulisny, Neil Arias, Curtis Covelli, Sebastian Reigber
Design Task Background Specs Production Transportation Source of Power Storage Best Solution Flow Chart
Prototype Cost Analysis Conclusion Questions
What we’ll be talking about…
Standardized fueling station for a H2 city
Supply the transportation network with H2 fuel using renewable resources
Our Mission
Boulder City, Nevada–25 miles SE of Las Vegas
Located about 6 miles from the Hoover Dam and 5 miles from the Boulder City Landfill
Population: 16,840
Requires about9,000kg of H2 a dayto meet transportneeds
Where we’ll be stationed…
Safe Sustainable 350 BAR and 700 BAR for passenger and
commercial vehicles. HCNG containing up to 30% hydrogen at
250 BAR 2 stations to meet the city needs with 6
pumps at each station
In a perfect world…
Electrolysis◦ Water
Large energy cost◦ Urine
Urine breaks down◦ Microbial
Not developed
Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Breaks Down
Steam Biomethane Costly
How will we produce it?
Trucks Constant Refill
Pipes Costly
Produced on Site Need of space
Produced at House Not realistic
How to get it to the station
Liquid Expensive
Gas Storage
Produced Right Before Use Cant keep up with demand
Storage/Distribution
Solar Lack of Space
Wind Lack of Space
Coal Not Renewable
Nuclear Expensive
Hydroelectric Not Enough Power
Methane Waste Abundance of CH4
Source of Power
Production◦ Steam Methane Reforming
Transportation◦ Trucks-H2◦ Piping-CH4
Storage◦ Liquid
Source of Power◦ Methane

What we envision
Steam Methane Reformer -> $20,000,000
+ Pipelines ->
$10,000,000 + Cost of Stations ->
$17,324,000
Total Cost of System -> $57,324,000
The initial Cost…
Sell 350 and 700 bar at 4$ a kg ->$30,400 per day Sell HCNG at 5$ a kg -> $37,500 per day Cost to pump -> $40,000 per day 50 employees to run system -> $7,000 per day Nitrogen -> $5,000 per day Methane -> $2,000 per day
Total Profit -> $13,900 per day Yearly Profit -> $5,073,500 a year
Profit Per Day
The system will be paid off in a little over 11 years
This system is replica table around most cities that have landfills in the vicinity
We could sell hydrogen for other city needs
Paving the way for the future
