Air Products to supply first Rotterdam green hydrogen filling station
This project is in cooperation with the Port of Rotterdam to create the largest hydrogen station in The Netherlands
Air Products, Schenk Tanktransport and TNO will develop hydrogen trucks and a public hydrogen station. The project focuses on hydrogen in heavy-duty road transport and is subsidized by the Dutch government.
This project is in cooperation with the Port of Rotterdam to create the largest hydrogen station in The Netherlands, initially supplying three zero-emission trucks from Air Products, Schenk Tanktransport and other early hydrogen adopters in the Rotterdam port area. Air Products will supply and operate the refuelling station in the Botlek area and supply green hydrogen while Schenk Tanktransport will use the trucks for its daily logistics operations.
The project also contributes to the ambitions of HyTrucks, an international consortium of various parties that aims to deploy hydrogen in heavy road transport on a large scale by 2025 with 1,000 hydrogen-powered trucks in the triangle of Rotterdam, North Rhine-Westphalia and Antwerp.
“Hydrogen is a clean, viable alternative to diesel for freight transport. But then, of course, there have to be refuelling stations. I am delighted that Air Products is taking the lead in this respect by commissioning the first hydrogen filling station for trucks in Rotterdam within two years,” said Boudewijn Siemons, COO Port of Rotterdam.
Air Products is also a global leader in the supply of liquefied natural gas process technology and equipment.
