We know hydrogen

Berlin, 11 January 2023 | The H2 MOBILITY Deutschland hydrogen station at the Shell filling station Tempelhofer Weg 102 was opened today in the presence of Federal Transport Minister Dr. Volker Wissing: Fuel cell trucks, waste collectors, cars, and light commercial vehicles can now refuel with hydrogen (H2) here. The Tempelhofer Weg hydrogen filling station is one of Germany’s most efficient station as of today and is central to the further ramp-up of hydrogen mobility in the German capital: Nowhere else is the volume of H2 vehicles growing as fast as in Berlin. Federal Minister Dr Volker Wissing: “Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are an important building block for climate-friendly mobility. For this reason, the Federal Ministry for Transport is funding the deployment of a basic network of publicly accessible hydrogen filling stations. We are taking the lead and laying the foundations for climate-neutral road transport. For people and businesses to increasingly rely on alternative drivetrains, we need robust and widely available infrastructure. Hydrogen-powered vehicles will only be used if hydrogen filling stations are available across the country. We have joined forces with industry to achieve this goal.” At the Tempelhofer Weg station, not only the BSR waste collectors will be refuelling in future, but also the fleet of “H2 move Berlin”, which is to grow to over 200 Toyota Mirai in the driving service by summer 2023. In addition, the first hydrogen trucks will be delivered to customers nearby, including in Hylane rental service, in Berlin in the spring of 2023. Wolfgang Wüllhorst, Head of Fleet Management, Berliner Stadtreinigung: “Putting applications such as waste disposal for a transformed climate-friendly, modern mobility on to the road on a daily basis in a stable way  requires enormous efforts and a lot of expertise at all levels. I am delighted that the first truly high-performance H2 filling station is now coming online in Berlin. This supports us in the transformation and provides a necessary infrastructural service improvement for our operational processes.” Thomas Mohnke, Senior Executive Partner SafeDriver Group, operator of the “H2 moves Berlin” fleet: “Hydrogen is also an ideal fuel for cars and vans in continuous operation. Refuelling takes just a few minutes, the ranges are suitable for everyday use and multi-shift operation can be implemented at any time. Public transport authorities in particular are dependent on reliable operating conditions around the clock.” Sara Schiffer, Managing Director Hylane: “Our tenants have been on the road with hydrogen trucks in Germany since the end of last year. The expansion of the refuelling infrastructure gives our customers increasing flexibility in planning their routes and ensures a reliable hydrogen supply through regional redundancies. This is important because we need more vehicles with sustainable drives, especially in heavy goods transport, in order to achieve climate protection targets.” After completion of the commissioning process, the hydrogen filling station is now regularly available for refuelling hydrogen trucks at 350 bar (H2 buses and trucks) and at 700 bar (H2 passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and waste collectors). The Tempelhofer Weg hydrogen station is conveniently located near the city motorway 100 and the A 113 near the BSR service yard in the south of Berlin. It is Berlin’s fifth hydrogen station. Europe’s leading operator of hydrogen filling stations, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, is responsible for the hydrogen filling station’s construction and operation. The filling station technology at the new H2 filling station is supplied by the industrial gases and technology company Air Liquide. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY Germany: “With hydrogen at 350 bar, heavy commercial vehicles with e-drives can already refuel at megawatt speeds today – for example here at Tempelhofer Weg in Berlin. Our goal is to add up to 120 more locations across Germany in the next four years.” Hydrogen is used to power FCEVs (fuel cell electric vehicles). Their advantages: no noise and no pollutants, but the same use, speed, and range as vehicles with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen cars have ranges of up to 700 kilometres and refuel in just three to five minutes; waste collectors, like conventional waste collectors, need about 15 minutes to refuel, for a range of up to 400 kilometres. The construction of the hydrogen filling station was funded with a total of EUR 1.3 million by the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport under its National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme. The funding directive is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by the Jülich Project Management (PtJ). The hydrogen filling station network in Germany Fuel-cell vehicle drivers can currently refuel cars, smaller commercial vehicles, and utility vehicles such as waste collectors at 700 bar at nearly 100 public hydrogen filling stations in Germany. 350-bar refuelling for buses and trucks is also possible at some of these stations. H2 MOBILITY continues to expand the hydrogen filling station infrastructure in focus regions and along the TEN-T corridors in line with demand. In addition, existing 700-bar hydrogen filling stations will be expanded short-term to include 350-bar pumps.

Wesseling, 18 August 2022 | Today, partners Shell and H2 MOBILITY Germany commissioned the filling station at the Wesseling Shell station at Ahrstrasse 99. Drivers of zero-emission fuel-cell passenger cars now have another refuelling option in the Cologne area. The station is conveniently located on the A555 in the Wesseling industrial zone on the direct route from Cologne-Bonn. It complements the focus region, where hydrogen (H2) refuelling options already exist in Cologne-Frechen and at the Cologne-Bonn Airport. The company responsible for building and operating the hydrogen filling station is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a key player in driving forward the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology at the new H2 filling station comes from the technology and gas company Linde and is state of the art. Hydrogen offers the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen – especially if it is produced using renewable sources – can help to significantly reduce climate-damaging CO2 emissions. Operating a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes neither local pollutants nor carbon dioxide emissions. The advantage of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles: short refuelling times for long ranges. The additional station reaffirms Shell’s commitment to the hydrogen business. The company intends to become a leading provider of green H2 for industrial and transport customers. Among other things, Shell operates a 10 MW PEM electrolysis for the production of green hydrogen plant at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in the immediate vicinity of the filling station. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Wesseling, H2 MOBILITY Germany received funding of at least €950,000 under the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP) of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV). H2 MOBILITY Germany H2 MOBILITY Germany is creating the conditions for unlimited clean, quiet, and uncomplicated hydrogen mobility in the European GSA nations: The company is in charge of building and operating a network of public hydrogen filling stations that enables electric mobility for light- to medium-duty commercial H2 vehicles (e.g. vans, buses, trucks, waste collection vehicles), as well as H2 passenger cars, without range restrictions and with short refuelling times. With the market ramp-up of the first commercial fuel-cell vehicles, existing hydrogen filling stations are quickly being expanded and new, larger filling stations being built where demand is expected to increase. Through H2 MOBILITY SERVICES, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland also supports third parties in planning, building, and operating H2 filling stations.

Erlangen 2 July 2022 | Drivers of fuel-cell vehicles can now refuel in Erlangen. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, together with its shareholder Linde and partners Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and SiemensEnergy, has launched ‘optimisation-mode’ operations at a filling station in Erlangen. Besides offering two pressure levels, the station uses electrolytically produced hydrogen (H2) and innovative Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. The opening will take place as part of the WOCHE DES WASSERSTOFFS SÜD (HYDROGEN WEEK SOUTH). The hydrogen filling station at Henri-Dunant-Strasse 2 on the Siemens AG campus benefits from the region’s many activities related to hydrogen production and storage. For instance, Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies supplies the filling station with green hydrogen, bound in liquid organic carrier material (LOHC), which is stored at the station in conventional underground tanks. The Hydrogenious release system installed at the station handles the recovery and feeding-in of the LOHC-bound hydrogen. The station allows for 700-bar refuelling of cars and light commercial vehicles, as well as 350-bar refuelling for vehicles like buses. Erlangen was selected as a location in H2 MOBILITY Deutschland’s second funding round, the decisive factor being the city’s commitment to operating various hydrogen vehicles, including waste-collection vehicles and buses. Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger: “The success of Bavarian energy research is coming to fruition today with the opening of the world’s first hydrogen filling station to use the LOHC technology we are funding, and is setting standards for the upcoming market ramp-up. Thanks to LOHC technology, hydrogen can now be easily stored on site on a significant scale and also reused. With this, we have achieved a breakthrough.” Erlangen’s mayor Florian Janik said: “Hydrogen is a very promising future technology. In areas where traffic cannot be avoided, it can help to noticeably reduce CO2 emissions. We are pleased to be taking a pioneering step towards establishing the necessary infrastructure here in Erlangen with the opening of the hydrogen filling station.” City Manager Jörg Volleth is likewise pleased about the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Erlangen. “The opening of the hydrogen filling station gives us an additional opportunity to make an important contribution to climate protection by converting our municipal vehicle fleet to zero-emissions drive types as well. We are therefore planning to expand our fleet of special-purpose vehicles with two fuel-cell vehicles in the next few years, and review a more extensive switch in this area.” The network of H2 filling stations continues to grow. As of today, there are 95 H2 stations in Germany, 21of them in Bavaria. The Erlangen filling station is conveniently located close to the Fürth/Erlangen motorway junction and thus to the A73 and A3. Alongside Berg bei Hof, Nuremberg and Fürth, the Erlangen site brings the total number of hydrogen filling station locations in the region to eight. The company responsible for building and operating the hydrogen filling station is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a key player in driving forward the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology comes from the industrial gas and technology company Linde. The facility holds around 400 kilograms of hydrogen and is state of the art. Hydrogen is used to power fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Its advantages are: no noise and no pollutants while still offering the same ease of use, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. Fuel-cell electric cars have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and are refuelled in just three to five minutes. Hydrogen thus offers the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen – especially if it is produced using renewable sources – can help to significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Erlangen, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland received funding of €984,898 under the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP) of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV).
