A hydrogen filling station is to be built in Wetter. The AHE recently presented the project together with partners. (Image: AHE)
Wetter (energate) - The waste management company AHE wants to build a hydrogen filling station in Wetter, North Rhine-Westphalia, together with partners. It is said to be the first freely accessible H2 filling station in the Ennepe-Ruhr district, announced AHE, a subsidiary of the local energy supplier AVU. The filling station is to be built near the Volmarstein motorway junction and will have refuelling facilities for trucks and cars. According to the information provided, filling pumps with 350 and 700 bar are planned. AHE will implement the project together with the industrial gas company Air Products and the mineral oil distributor Orosol, which already operates a diesel filling station on the site.
The new hydrogen filling station will be designed so that more than 50 trucks can refuel there daily. The hydrogen required for this will be delivered to Ennepetal via trailers. Only green hydrogen will be used there. In future, the operator Air Products will take care of the supply. AHE wants to use the filling station primarily for its own fleet of vehicles, but also to offer it to municipalities and companies in the region, explained AHE managing director Johannes Einig. Because of the local topography, hydrogen makes more sense as a sustainable propulsion system than the use of battery-electric vehicles, also for the municipal fleets and logistics companies in the region, he stated. /ml
