Germany: Two new hydrogen stations opened at Total stations
The openings in Neuruppin and Saarbrücken bring the total number of hydrogen refuelling stations available in Germany to 92.
Owners of hydrogen cars can now refuel in two more regions in Germany following the launch of two new hydrogen refuelling stations at Total sites in Neuruppin and Saarbrücken. The openings bring the total number of hydrogen refuelling stations available in Germany to 92.
The partners responsible for putting into operation the two new H2 stations are TOTAL, Air Liquide, Linde and H2 MOBILITY.
The station in Saarbrücken can refuel hydrogen cars at 700 bar, and can easily be expanded with 350 bar technology for the refuelling of commercial vehicles such as buses, according to Total. The technology comes from Air Liquide, manufacturer of systems and gases. The station will close a gap far away from the hydrogen centres of Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
The station in Neuruppin was built by TOTAL and will be operated by the joint venture H2 MOBILITY. The filling station is equipped with Linde compressor technology, and hydrogen is sold in kilogrammes. The station is an important link for journeys between Hamburg and Berlin.
Both H2 stations were funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) under the National Innovation Programme NIP.
Since 2002, TOTAL Deutschland has been active in research and pilot projects to develop the hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen vehicles can currently refuel at 24 stations in the TOTAL network in Germany. The next hydrogen filling station is currently being built in Freiburg.
