Patent ID: 7721682

Claim:
A system for producing a hydrogen enriched fuel comprising: a hydrogen source configured to supply hydrogen and a hydrocarbon source configured to supply a hydrocarbon; a heat exchanger in flow communication with the hydrogen source and the hydrocarbon source configured to cool the hydrogen and the hydrocarbon to a selected temperature; a blending system comprising a mixing chamber in flow communication with the heat exchanger configured to mix the hydrogen and the hydrocarbon into the hydrogen enriched fuel; a buffer tank in flow communication with the mixing chamber configured to collect and temporarily store the hydrogen enriched fuel; a compressor system in flow communication with the buffer tank configured to pressurize the hydrogen enriched fuel to a selected pressure; a storage system in flow communication with the compressor system configured to store a selected quantity of the hydrogen enriched fuel at the selected pressure; a dispensing system in flow communication with the storage system configured to dispense the hydrogen enriched fuel into a vehicle; and a control system configured to control a flow of the hydrogen and the hydrocarbon into the mixing chamber, a flow of the hydrogen enriched fuel from the mixing chamber to the storage system, a flow of the hydrogen enriched fuel from the storage system to the dispensing system, and a flow of the hydrogen enriched fuel from the dispensing system to the vehicle; the control system configured to perform certified auditing for a tradable emission program.
