Berlin (energate) - German transport minister Volker Wissing (FDP - Liberal Democrats) has put a hydrogen filling station into operation in Berlin. With a tank volume of 850 kilograms, it is "the most powerful hydrogen filling station in Europe", explained Nikolas Iwan, managing director of co-investor H2 Mobility Germany. The facility, located at a Shell site, is suitable for refuelling commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses at 350 bar as well as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and refuse collectors, which can refuel there at 700 bar.
Transport Minister Wissing describes the new filling station as a sign of the German transport turnaround and a "modern climate-neutral mobility mix". Therefore, his ministry granted funding through the 'National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme' for half of the investment sum, which amounts to about 2.6 million euros. According to Wissing, what Germany needs above all is hydrogen refuelling infrastructure that is equally suitable for small vehicles and commercial vehicles. /ne
