HRS to open first hydrogen station in Saudi Arabia
Commissioned by a local national energy company, this site will supply hydrogen to a planned fleet of 20 buses and light vehicles.
Hydrogen Refueling Solutions (HRS), European designer and manufacturer of hydrogen refueling stations, has announced the first order of a hydrogen station outside of Europe, from a Saudi Arabian developer.
The site was ordered by a local national energy company and is set to supply a planned fleet of 20 buses and light vehicles, with construction starting in July. As its first station to be sold outside Europe, this marks a decisive step in HRS's strategy of international development.
The company aims to play a major role in this fast-growing market, using its technological and industrial expertise to meet the growing needs of players in the region.
"The considerable commercial opportunities in this region mean we can look forward to potential future sales of larger capacity stations to support the deployment of hydrogen mobility, in fostering the energy transition," stated Hassen Rachedi, CEO and founder of HRS.
The Middle East not only has a considerable renewable energy production potential in both wind and solar power, its countries also have a number of ambitious national development plans. This has been demonstrated by their commitment at COP28 and their investment in the deployment of green hydrogen production infrastructures.
